I had quite a crazy game. Played the Soviet Union, made a deal with Germany to partition Poland, all went smoothly. Then the Winter war started and Sweden decided to help out Finland! I decided to annex Finland and Sweden all together.
Then Germany attacked quite suddenly, and started invading the Ukraine. I saw a heroic standoff in Brest Litovsk by 3 Mongolian divisions and 1 Tanna Tuvan division (my only four divisions at the German border), who held out for days but were completely desroyed. I rushed divisions back to prepare a defensive line: Kiev was already taken and Minsk was under direct threat.
I pushed back the Germans, but throughout this early patriotic war the Allies got no further than occupying Freiburg. The war was very heavy and I must say the German AI is pretty ok (they constantly attack divisions of mine which are at the time attacking another province). Somewhere in 1941 Italy decided to join the Axis, and it eventually was split between me and the Allies.
At the beginning of 1942 I started to "liberate" other countries: I launched a campaign against the Balkan countries, against Denmark (puppeted them and succesfully demanded Greenland), Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan and Sianking and even Belgium. What surprises me the Allies did absolutely nothing to prevent this as they were at war with Portugal (who joined Greece, which at some point was leader of the Axis). They allowed me to spread Communism where ever I wanted it to be spread.
The Allies were unable to occupy Portugal because they just took over the colonies, went into Lisbon and that's it (other key provinces weren't taken, and sometimes they would take out all forces from Lisbon).
On January 1944, with 88 belligerence points, the USA declared war on me without the Allies.
