I agree with minor nations being more fun. I always like doing something unhistorical and try and turn something small into an empire (normally monarchist). Only downside is when you see "Nono Germans have justified a war goal against us"

Great idea

[@IceManBgd]

Switch to fascism, rush Sweden and Norway and then proclaim Kalmar Union. When Germany invades Poland, conquer Finland and proclaim Nordic Empire. After that you can either naval invade UK and end the war or stay out of it and ignore Germany’s call to arms and that’s pretty much it

[@rps215]

I wonder why I haven't seen anyone done this American civil war cheese yet that make things a bit easier 1: In the beginning - Disband all your airforce (VERY IMPORTANT), all of them, including the CV planes - Build some transport planes, as many as possible. - Research paratroopers As usual, don't take any focus until the election, do everything seen in the video otherwise 2: Once paratrooper is researched, train as many paratrooper divisions as you can, don't need to modify template. Put all your transport planes on the airbase in Philadelphia and once your paratroopers are trained, give them a paradrop order on Boston. 3: Once the you get the weapons stolen events, disband all of your army except the paratroopers 4: When the civil war starts, immediately send your paratroopers to Boston. This will capitulate the rebels immediately. The war is not over of course, but now you get most of your weapons back and the enemy lost most if not all of their stockpile. 5: Just defeat the remaining rebels once they pop out

Fr Charles Coughlin was not a fascist, what is with this game? Edit: The part I hate about this mission is that Five-Star General Douglas MacArthur would never I mean *NEVER* revive the Confederacy. He idolised his father who was a famous Civil War Colonel, does not seem to have been a racist (To Asians at least.) and his politics while definitely Republican and anti-communist, he was not afraid to increase the burden of the state as he did in Japan. He was a Democrat and Christian, and very much for land reform which he achieved with a socialist Edit2: "(He did it for capitalist reasons.)", a plan more radical than Mao's I believe, it is partially why he was not chosen to lead the Republican party.
