Challenges playlist: • Hearts of Iron IV Chal...
The challenge is to play as Tannu Tuva and annex USSR (The Soviet Union). It is a bit similar to my previous Mongolia challenge, but I will use a slightly different strategy to make things more interesting. I will first move against China to get infinite manpower, and then turn against the Soviet Bear. Can Tannu Tuva beat the Soviets? Tune in and find out.
Hearts of Iron IV Tannu Tuva challenge.
Rules:
- Play as Tannu Tuva
- Annex all of the Soviet Union territory
- Ironman
What did I do wrong, what did I do right? What should my next challenge be, if any. Let me know in the comments.

This might be impossible but I challenge you to play as any nation (that is not Japan, Italy or a member of the Allies or Axis) and stop World War 2 from happening WITHOUT declaring war (or joining a war) against the Axis or the Allies (being declared on by them is also an instant fail).

[@tonylee1912]

The Astro Gamer is that even possible? Germany and Japan, not to mention other major countries' focus tree allows them to have war

[@madsjrgensen5736]

Not possible. Would be stupid to waste time with.

[@Taureor]

Clarify. Initial members of the Allies, or historical members of the Allies?

[@theastrogamer710]

Initial members at the 1936 start.

[@Taureor]

I'm nt sure without testing, but at first glance I'd do it like that: - play France - turn Fascist - annex Poland as soon as possible - join Axis - (inviding Benelux might also be needed, not sure) - there should be no war between Axis and Allies, at least I think so

I wonder how shadow puppeting would work in a peace conference Tanna Tuva: "So I puppet them, but with no territory claimed" "Makes sense you didn't do much work. So I take the territory" Tanna Tuva: "Hold on that doesn't work the country is puppeted" "Oh right then I have nothing more. What else?" Tanna Tuva: "Now I add the territory in my puppet. It really doesn't make sense to own a puppet with no territory" "Yes that make sense" Tanna Tuva: "Great, that does it. Gentlemen we have peace" "Yeah..."

[@Ashley-hh3zl]

When you declare war on a country, there is a box you can tick that calls in every one of your allies to begin with. The AI seems more inclined to accept this form of invitations than anything afterwards from what I've seen, and it's easier than waiting until after the war has been declared, because you may lose a day or two of surprise.

[@googane7755]

Even though the new update changes the supply situation that will literally destroy some of the offensives shown here, for example taking Ma, the supply is so bad that your allies cannot push them but you can still work around this by taking Sinkiang first and just use sheer size of the frontline to win. This video is still relevant for the new tannu tuva achievement and WC due to the way the soviet ai behaves.

[@letmepost7343]

The Between The Seas Concept: As Poland stay non-aligned, form the międzymorze faction, with this faction connect 3 different seas by land and prevent anyone from taking your territory. Basically do what the non-historical AI always tries to do but fails. I managed to do this non-historical and non-ironman last patch and it was great fun. After I defeat the axis and then the comintern, my ally fascist romania decided now would be a good time for a democratic civil war which the entirety of the allies joined on the other side, so I performed a defensive (faction) world conquest.
