    MWAHAHAHA! Just had to share it. Germany and I have annexed the USSR completely, its literally split into 2 halves (with me getting Siberia, hmpf... ) and by giving away a few strategically located provinces I managed to get China to declare war on Germany. the thing is, China owns a very long corridor along my new russian border and I have a fewarmies of 10+ divisions along that border so I can shut it down at any time.

    Right now its June 43 and Im preparing a major invasion for spring 44: 2 big navies are getting ready in the Tokyo Docks, marine divisions are getting upgraded, and 15 para-divisions are getting training along with a few transports and bombers.

    My industrial capacity went from 100 in 36 to 189 in 43 and there are a few more ICs getting build...

    I just dont really know where to direct my attack. South west into China or west into USSR Germany. Both have advantages and disadvantages, but as I said Im going to wait till spring and see who has the upper hand between Germany and China, and make the best out of it.

    I will make the world speak Japanese and watch Pokemon!!!

    EDIT: Update:

    The MArch 44 offensive was directed into China´s heart. The capital was taken in 7 hours via airborne. At the same time marine divisions landed in Shangai and 3 other major ports while my 18 divisions hi tech army advanced from the north supported by the bombers that wiped out the small divisions that were away from the main direction of my attack and my battlefleets sunk 5 chinese ships + 4 transports in the first day.

    Long story short, the Chinese offered peace in 2 days. I got a much more consistent border with them, and a few other provinces that will allow me to form easy pockets for my eventual expansion into German USSR. I now control continuous land from Kamchatka to Afghanistan. The power of CHina in the world has been crippled for a while.

    You can start an SP savegame as any other nation. So that was what I did, mainly to see what was going on in the rest of the world, or rather in this case to see what the chinese and japanese were doing. As it happened Japan annexed China not so long afterwards, so apparently they didn't attack like I would have done.

    or there is a cheat(but I don't really see it as a cheat) to see the world I use it because I had the option to see everything in HOI1 and I just don't really like the fog of war in Hoi2.

    Actually, this is turning into one of the best games I have played, ever.

    - That's right. And I didn't tap all those Morse code messages to the Allies 'til my shoes filled with blood to just roll out the welcome mat for the Reds.

    with the fog of war the reliability of the divisions facing you will be greater. Ie if it says 2? with out intellegence it might say 3 and will be more accurate

    I recommend the HOI2 wikki for most of your questions click me
