I will probably play as Spain and provide air and naval support so Germany can invade the uk while trying to liberate Africa from its oppressive leaders (uk and France) and grace them with my iron fist of a government.

One of the Axis majors, haven't decided which one yet. My strategy will probably be close to the historical plans, except losing.

USA
Turn facist, Create a faction where i try do ger countries like Iran an Turkey in.
When i am readt launch operation red, Conqure Canada, then focus on Dutch indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.
After that ill unvade Great Britain. When i am completly ready in about 1944 ill start invading japan. I will also try do take the other American states at some point like Cuba and Mexico.
A glorius American Empire!

Hungary. A small Axis power with borders to reclaim. But unlike most of the HOI3 strategies, I don't want to remake the Habsburg empire and get in Germany's way too much. After they finish the Anschluss and take the Sudetenland, hopefully I can swoop in and grab Slovakia before turning my attention to Yugoslavia and the Balkans.

I have not yet decided but it'll probably be one of the following three:
Germany: Historical plan with a focus on light and medium armor breakthroughs.
Japan: Semi-historical plan with lots of naval invasions and some light armor.
Finland: Attempt to hold my own or even go on the offensive in the Winter War by means of very advanced infantry and good air weapon. Possibly try to sink the Soviet fleet with naval bombers if I can spare the production.

Maybe Italy, being a powerful nation but not too major. I'll assist Germany while taking some lands for myself (South of France, the Balkans, Africa...) or maybe a minor like Hungary.
Brasil. Build-up until 7 december 1941, then join Axis and take all south america and try to close Panama Canal and distract USA until Germany defeat Soviet Union. Of course i hope in a German-Japan lend lease.

Since I never played HoI before, either:
Britain (home country)
Germany (I imagine its probably pretty easy)

Italy.
Support the existing navy with land based aircraft; Develop a small but always state of the art army, lock the Mediterranean, attempt to dominate Africa and open a second front with the USSR through either Turkey or Persia.
Pretty typical game just to break the ice.
2nd game will be steamrolling everyone with T-34s

Still up in the air but:
1. Germany and go ahistorical a couple times.
2. Czechoslovakia and try a war that came early scenario.
3. Romania and take over the Balkans and Anatolia then eventually Italy.

In my first SP I'll play Italy completely unhistorical, making my own faction and just try to grab all that beautiful clay :3
In the MP game with my friends I'll play historical Italy assisting my buddy who will be playing germany

I'll first try my luck as Italy focusing on securing the Mediterranean first, then Africa and the Middle East. I will focus on low-suppy armies (for those regions) with a land-based airforce that I'll use to support naval engagements and to disrupt hostile supply lines. My navy will focus on surface superiority (probably through fleet in waiting) and once my own coast is untouchable through control over North Africa, I will try my best to wrecking-ball the British and Americans wherever I can find them.
Probably the US, to easymode my way into familiarizing myself with the mechanics, testing out some cool Division setups without too much pressure. Maybe conquer South America.

america, i will turn fascist and feed germany tanks and guns, i will then proceed to take over all of north and south america before turning my attention on europe, by then germany should have taken over the world and i can declare war and have a massive intense battle for the beaches and mainland of france and germany

My "out of the box" game will be historical Germany for sure. I want to keep surprises to a minimum while learning base mechanics.
After that I will go ahistorical Japan. I will try to create a custom faction (United Earth Federation) and try to bring as many resource-rich regions into the faction as I can by diplomacy or force. I will try to keep away from war with the major powers until my power base is secure. Once I am ready, I will bring the fight to the Allies, Axis and Comintern with a massive force of Japanese Mecha....I mean armor....

Probably going Italy for my first run through with friends, their going Japan and Germany, and we're going to make the Axis great again. But ye I'm going to take control of the Med and Africa, and push into the oil riches of the middle east, to take the oil from those pesky Brits. I WILL REMAKE THE ROMAN EMPIRE!!

For me I expect to either play as Canada in historical mode and focus primarily on learning all the mechanics. I figure that way I can coast along with the Allies in terms of diplomacy, have easy access to resources thanks to the US being my neighbors, and try to help out as best as I can and maybe leading Husky myself (and favorite of mine in HoI 3 since Allied invasion AI tended to be very anemic).
Second game as Brazil in non-historical mode and go and dominate South America.
By then I should have enough of a handle to play Italy and not be totally inept!
