1.1 Disclaimer.

The previous Brazil with generic focus tree can wage early wars against Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia before World Tension get out of control, then free avoiding wars against major powers.

That was needed due to Brazil having few states, so little space to industrial growth. All that was needed to that plan work is build few MIL factories to pump 30~48 divisions til the time to fight the hardest neighbor: Argentina.

With the ToA(Trial of Allegiance) xpac the Brazil starts with serious debuffs, so the production of weapons is by far more slower, also more is tricky to become Fascist.

Goals: Conquest of Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentine, Chile, Bolivia.

For generals purposes i will try write this guide on to new player friendly language and perspective much as possible.

1.2 Economy.

The day 1.
-You will start with 3 Military Factories and 1 Naval Dockyard.
-Start producing rifles, support equipment and artillery from Day 1. So don't touch on rifle and support equipment production lines, just use the spare military factory on artillery.
-If you have the DLC Arms Against Tyranny, delete your start aircraft and sell it on the market.

Our strategy:
Brazil start with the Basic Infantry Equipment(tier 0 rifles), its have half of Soft Atack of Weapons I(tier 1 rifles), we will rush research for tier 1 rifles(complete research table on section 1.5) to have vantage or equality over enemies.

Also to output rifles is necessary factories, so we will build only military factories.

Prioritize states with better infrastructure, and that don't have debuffs..

All completed military factories should be allocated to rifle production only.

1.3 Division Templates

One major hidrance for Brazil is that initial templates requires support equipment, the production of that is slow, so your divions will take long time to spawn. To our strategy work we need much divisions as possible.

So we will switch the template for divisions to be deployed divions for a one without support equipment and artillery.

Your main and quickest source of Army XP to edit templates will be deal with the Cangaço decisions(explained in detail in Section 1.4). You should have these 3 templates once you get XP. Is important that Infantry .1 be the starting template modified, the other will be duplicates.

When new divisions are deployed, just put more on the qeue production utilizing add unit button. only order "infantry .1" on qeue, when time arrives we will switch the template of deployed divisions from .1 to .2 or .3.

We skiped Ensure Military support, its slow fascist support gain with huge boost to unaligned.​
Start utilizing Deal with Cangaço decisions once the Focus is completed, its give a 100pp, 5% stability, 50army xp when completed​
Start utilizing Boost Fascism support once Miguel Reale is pick as advisor​
Completing Cohen Plan will give 100 PP​
Each Sucessfully operation against cangaço give 10 army XP​
We aren't more picking Francisco Campos, his boost to fascism is meaningless​
