So what's the optimal strategy for getting Independent India asap right now?

[fuser312]

First I tried normally i.e. no exploits and it didn't go well for Germany and USSR almost always refuses to support Indian Independence and then when civil war starts, I belief that what division Independent India gets and what Raj gets is something not dependent on popularity. Furthermore Raj is immediately supported by British divisions which makes the war not winnable for Independent India.

Then I tried gamey ways by looking at few youtube videos and surprise surprise in my experience what always works on these youtube play through never works when you are playing the game. So basically I send all my divisions into the sea just before the civil war fires, and had build no new divisions. But when the war starts I loose all my divisions on sea and is left with 3 divisions all scattered and they just roll over me. Same thing happened when I deleted all divisions and created few without deploying them, they all vanish when the civil war begins. So probably these exploits are fixed but I am back to ground zero.

So as the title says how can I get Independent India asap, any strategy, tips, thanks.

Lend leasing convoys, support equipment, and motorized builds lots of autonomy quickly. Go down swaraj till you get quit india movement and buy your freedom peacefully. I think if you get to dominion status before the war starts you can refuse the call to arms if needed.

This was an old exploit sending your divsions at see for the civil war, this doesn't work anymore.

The fastet way would probably setting UK on decolonisation path. Second best would be probably if UK is player controlled and takes Indian Autonomy Early.

Beside this,if you wanna stay democractic/neutral, just build some dockyards early, build convoys and LL them to UK for lots of freedom points.

If you are going for violent independence, you need to have the civil war start while WT is below 40%. UK and the allies should stay out of the war below 40% WT as long as you aren't in the Axis. In some ways, you want Germany or the USSR to refuse to help you, because then you don't have to fight the whole British Empire. Your civil war units are derived from your existing army at the start. Delete your whole army before the civil war, and the Raj won't have any men either. There was a really good post on reddit a while back where a guy put together a step-by-step guide on how to go fascist and break away, but I can't find it now. One tip is to never build factories in states that you won't control when the civil war fires. The guy also suggested building small cavalry divisions (so they would train up quickly) and taking the military advisor who boosts training so you can spawn units faster than the Raj, then rush the victory points. Grab all of the ports (to deny the UK landing sites if things go pear shaped) and try to capitulate the Raj as quickly as you can.
