Your strategy (only focusing on tanks) is kind of useless in single player game. AI will always attack in all fronts with infantry, and if you don't have air superiority, your 10inf army would deorg instantly and can't even hold the line. Your tanks can't do anything either because they are constanly pinned and deorged. It's always more beneficial to invest 40%~ ic on guns and artillery and have a lots of 14-4 to counter AI's relentless attack. Around twelve 40w tanks for breakthrough are more than enough. 12Inf+5Art+1heavyAA is probably the best template against AI. (I have to use this strategy when playing the expert ai mod, not sure about vanilla though).

For anyone wondering about the border conflict for single player, I find that when your organising your army at the very start, just leave two infantry divisions there and you'll NEVER lose the border conflict. With how simple it is you may as well do it because it keeps japan from getting research bonus for their doctrine

[@racoon251]

I always just save 6 mountaineers, send them to Spain, then spend them over to the Japanese boarder after the civil war.

[@perpetual_suffering1458]

@@racoon251 that's cool, but theres an even better broken strategy with volunteers. Assign zhukov as the general of the spanish volunteers, the terrain is very hilly and so he should grind the hill fighter trait, and the organiser trait, you should have the organiser trait by the end of the spanish civil war but not the hill fighter, that will usually be around 90% complete. After your volunteers are sent home, immediately send them to china to fight Japan, china also has hilly terrain and so you should be able to finish the hill fighter trait. You could continue fighting in china but because this is around the same time as the great purge your org and soft attack will be halved and so continued grinding will be painful so I usually return home at this stage. Now zhukov will be have 7 attack (+17% attack bonus), he will have 2 terrain traits (hill fighter and winter specialist) which then allows you to acquire the adaptable trait, this gives his army 30% less panalty on rough terrain. Assign him the logistics wizard trait (since you grinded organiser) and the ambushed trait which buffs entrenchement. Assign zhukov as the field marshall of your entire army, now the entire soviet army has a reduction in supply consumption, a +17.5% attack, cold accumulation factor of 50% and hill fighting buff if 50%, all terrains are also buffed by 30%. You're entire army has now received godly buffs

[@Ronald98]

@@perpetual_suffering1458 yeah this also deprives japan from having a 100% research on tanks as well

While at peace I always just keep 2 or 3 40 width light tanks there, they can win the conflict immediately and can go back to a front line in minutes. The extra 100%(?) land bonus helps with the purge land doctrines.

Thanks for the Guide!

[@exantiuse497]

The reason why you get the event where Finland asks to be your puppet even though he is already is because if Finland gets a communist government, it will get an event where it can volunteer ask Soviet Union's puppet. This may have some historical background, the communist elements of Finland at the time wanted to join or at least receive protection from the USSR and the event reflects that. For some reason they get the event even if the reason why they got a communist government was because they became puppet to the USSR, a bug or oversight or something, which leads to the nonsensical situation of Finland the Soviet union's puppet asks to become Soviet Union's puppet

Nobody asked for it but it ruins every single *historical* peace conference. Why give the territory back to the rightful owner who even is your ally, if you can release/puppet it instead? But Pdx doesn't care for post-WW2 gameplay, seeing how a supervised Germany still re-annexes Austria because they are both in the Allies, same for the partition of Poland event being able to fire a second time. I guess they expect us to stop playing the moment the big peace conference starts.

That request by Finland to join your faction is hard-coded into the game and is triggered by Finland flipping to communism. Apparently the only condition, without any checks, like, "is Finland already puppet of SU or in the faction with SU" were not important enough to be implemented. When playing as Finland, if I remember right, you get to choose between joining comintern, do nothing and the galaxy brain choice, be annexed by SU. Theoretically if non-historic AI goes this path, there is a chance of SU getting free Finland this way.

Then use Turkey's Chromium as a puppet state to make your heavies - you get 80 Chromium for one civvy! I usually get to June 1941 with 500 factories total (not embellishing).
