So, I was bored and did a Soviet play through with the intent on not doing the purge and becoming a non aligned Russia. TO my dismay, I learned that you cant choose to fight as the non aligned. I thought, oh well, no biggie, Ill just play as them when they win the civil war. So I go into observer and play as Russia. But it is super glitchy and doesn't really work out well. It doesn't use the right infrastructure, cant properly deploy units, etc.. I was just wondering if Paradox had any plans to either let us play as them in the civil war in the future, or if any known mods allow you to do that.

I don't believe there is a way to do so at the moment without using the console (which would require you to type "tag [Country ID]" into the console); Otherwise, the only way I can see this happening is in a possible feature that could be released in a DLC featuring civil war. Sorry, but if you play Ironman mode, you may be out of luck :(.

I think with this DLC we will see non-alligned as a realistic option for the first time (Romanian all parties must end, Hungarian Habsburg focus trees), this trend I hope will continue, would be nice to play Monarchist Germany or Russia.
I think if you don't play Ironman just cause the civil war and then save the game reload it and then you can pick the other side (not sure ususally play Ironman so I don't have to remember to save the game).

Monarchist Russia is kind of impossible in 1936 anyway. Even fascism has more chances.

I think you can play as them if you're not in Iron mode. When the civil war breaks out save the game, go to the menu, click on "load game" (not "continue"!), then you will be taken to the saved world map, before clicking start just select the Russian rebels and you're good to go.
