I'm so extremely excited for HOI IV, its hard to wait for June 6th, so I thought I'd share the game that I'm looking forward to most.

A Yugoslavia takeover of the Balkans. :D

Instead of going Daniels route of using the Mass Assault Doctrine, I would like to do the Superior Firepower doctrine as I figure being a minor does not give enough manpower making manpower precious, but bullets cheap.
Thus I will focus on my industry mostly with the Industrial National Focus being at the forefront. Along with that I want to make my units extremely strong. I would rather a commander with a good amount of great troops than a Field Marshal with many meh troops. (Artillery baby)

The plans will involve taking Romania for her oil and generally moving south. I should mention that until the War between Germany and the Allies break out I don't think I'll be doing too much expanding so I would need to take the most important countries first Romania and either Bulgaria or Greece depending on which is more valuable in terms of Infrastructure.

Anything else I should plan on?

But I want Fascism so as to declare war faster. I don't know much about the communist system in the game though so its not out of the question. It would be nice to see a WWW with something like a communist France to show it off or something like that.

Yeah, we definitely need a communist WWW. I have a lot of plans with HOI4—Yugoslavia being one of them, but something all of these plans share is becoming communist. I just can't bring myself to play fascist. A democracy I'd probably strive to become communist.

Crush Albania once and for all if Italy doesn't beat you to it. Forestall any potential future Kosovo situation in one fell swoop. :p
Once the Allies are warring with the Axis :D
I figure that they won't care much for the balkans while the rest of Europe is going up in flames. During the prewar time I will have to use the absence of Guarantees as quick as possible so the most important nations must fall first then I can mop up the rest. Moving into the Middle East also seems like it could be fun, be the supplier of Oil for the Axis

I find that It will be hard for me not to play Facist. At least with minors. I figure the way to survive as a minor is war, constant war.

Doesn't this put you in on a dangerous border with the Soviet Bear when the Nazi OKW launches Barbarossa? As a fascist you may have to invest a lot of energy in helping Germany just to survive on the Eastern Front.

It will be interesting to see How the German AI in such a situation works with a balkan human player in the East!

Never said I'd help the Germans... Although that might be a good way to get land out of the USSR, I mean most of its forces should be focused on Germany, and my conquest of the Balkans should be done, so I guess that I could march along the South of the USSR securing important points, hopefully giving me a good slice of the pie in the peace deal.

Unite until no longer Yugo-Slavia, but just Slavia. Then build a wall.
There should be an achievement for Slavic Nations - Unite all Slavic Lands ^^

Uh, you should probably plan a way to survive the whole German invasion thing. Maybe side with the Axis, or if you're feeling like a gamble side with the USSR, lose, get a government in exile (are they even in the game?) and then wait until the USSR beats Germany to reclaim your empire.
