We all have our pet scenarios we want to play out within our first game or so once we get our grubby hands on a copy of HOI IV when it finally comes out.

How do you want to leave the world in 1948 - what's the new status-quo you want to create?

I have never played HoI before, so I will take a minor at first to learn some basics. Maybe Venezuela. So I guess I will take any result in 1948 as granted. :D

I would suggest to play Canada. It is pretty safe and it is up to you, how you will help, not big army, but still you can turn the tide in Africa and Italy. Or you can help USA in Pacific. Venezuela will be boring mate :)

The Mediterranean will be a Roman Lake. Mainland Europe will be a Fascist Block lead by Italy to hold off the Reds in the East and the Capitalists in the West. The wealth of Africa and the Middle East will flow into Italy to to turn Rome into the City of the World and Europe will take back it's rightful place on the world stage from the mongrel usurpers in America.

Well, for starters, you'll see the word "Japan" plastered on everything around the Pacific, from Alaska, to Australia, to Chile, to the Philippines, and everything inbetween. Plus China.

Hi,

France -> Allies victory, with Germany and most of western Europe under their influence. Saar annexed by France.
Belgium (yes seriously) -> annex a few German territories, make the Congo a budding super power and release it.
Soviet Union -> get rid of Stalin, steam-roll Europe and prepare for war total war with the US.

As Germany, I'd like to accomplish some modest goals:

First, to reunite with Germany all of its natural and traditional territory based on the principal of national self-determination, including Austria, South Tyrol, Istria, the Memellland, the Sudetenland, Danzig and the eastern territories occupied by Poland. The claim to Elsass-Lothringen was renounced at Locarno, but if France goes to war with Germany, then naturally that agreement made in the spirit of friendship is moot. It remains to be seen whether the Czechoslovak and Polish rump states will remain viable in the event of occupation, but Germany will not be the aggressor against them.

Second, to isolate and destroy international Bolshevism. I expect that forming an anti-Communist bloc in Europe, ideally with the preservation of an independent Finland and the Baltic States before war breaks out, will frustrate Soviet ambitions. Supporting China against Japan will place an ally on the Russian border, while not aligning myself with an enemy of Britain and France, against which I have no designs. Obtaining the support of Turkey and Persia are additional objectives. Then, when the Soviets attack, Germany will do whatever is necessary to force its capitulation and a restructuring of its government according to modern norms.

You'll note that I'm not following the lebensraum principle of territorial conquest, and accordingly hope that things may go a little smoother with France and Britain. (This will eliminate the need for naval rearmament!) Ideally, if they oppose Italy I will exploit the situation to take South Tyrol and Istria with international support.

My goal will not be to paint the world my color with a wide brush, I'll need to use a roller.

More realistically, I'm hoping to convert a couple of "industrialized mediums" in various parts of the world into "majors"; no real plans at "world conquest", but I want to do far more with several different countries than was managed historically. In fact, if it's even possible for small or medium sized countries to take over the entire world despite their limited manpower, I'll be disappointed.
