A few mistakes. Having your own faction doesn't stop the focus bypass. The way to avoid that is to take it before the other 2 parallel to it. Also I don't think this is possible at all now as France guarantees Yugoslavia and if they go historical UK more or less guarantee after they join allies

[@xaviervilloing6636]

Excellent ! Concerning the Saadabad pact bug, you can avoid it by manually create a faction with Irak before taking the focus. just improve relation, regularly check (especially once beaten Greece or Yugoslavia, or at war) and the option will eventually be green. After the focus finishes, Iran and Afganisthan will join, Irak refuses (but already is in) then you will be able to puppet. Saves time and effort with the China part.

[@XtremeXC29]

[@kaiser_landschaft7941]

This guide still working ?

[@johnnyattack]

Would be fun to see you do a challenge as Germany, going after Portugal and Dutch East Indies (and of course the Dutch them self) as an early move. Then build up a massive sub fleet AND a massive airfleet consisting if naval bombers and strat bombers. You can reach very far into the USA from Curacao and the Britsh convoys will sink like crazy if you control Cape Verde, Azores and Portugal once WW2 kicks off. Would suggest ditching Battlefield support and go down Strategic destruction, not only for the better strategic bombing but for the better naval bombing. Can be a good idea to not have Vichy France but either puppet whole of France or annex to get the aluminium. But with the Dutch East indies and France and British Malaya (eventually) one can build planes at a rate no other nation can match. And the Soviets can later on move their factories as far away as possible, they will still get bombed once the bombers range can be upgraded.

[@dryhad9253]

I think you're mistaken about the issue with Expand the Saadabad Pact. There is certainly an extant bug wherein the Pan-National Association of Ulemas will immediately bypass due to a delay in Expanding the Saadabad Pact, however this is not because the faction does not get correctly formed and it is not an error with Expand the Saadabad Pact per se, it is an error with the bypass conditions of the subsequent focus. It can be avoided by forming a faction manually (or, as you did, joining an existing faction), however it is of the *utmost importance* that at least one of the other Saadabad signatories is also in this faction before taking the focus. Alternatively, the bug can be avoided by taking Expand the Saadabad Pact before either the Damascus Diktat or Reclaim the Fallen Empire, because in that case The Pan-National Association of Ulemas will not be available for bypass until after the events are properly resolved.

[@Bitt3rSteel]

If they do that it's just a case of waiting for them to pick the focus where they influence hungary to non-aligned. You can pick the same focus to do the same. To help it along you can set up spies in the 3 countries to influence non-aligned. As soon as one of the countries get to the right % they will form the Austro hungarian empire. Then you just need to get them into your faction if they don't already. This can be complicated if the country that flipped was already in another faction (I had one playthru where Austria joined the comintern but then were the ones who formed but were in the comintern).
