Hearts of Iron II Doomsday

Always Puppet Where Available... this will lower your TC, making it easier to supply your units that are off fighting distantly from your Capital. As Italy, the first thing I always do after conquering Egypt is to Puppet them. It takes a lot of Stress off of your back when you start pushing into Southern Africa.

Bah. Just got totally pwned by Bulgaria. Dammit, I knew I needed more troops! I'm probably going to have to wait another twelve months - what a bore! Except that by that time Bulgaria will probably have more troops too...

Greece is starting to look just a little too tough - maybe it's time I tried one of the majors.

BTW - I think you really need the IC from annexation until you get your five research slots, don't you?

Whoa.. I just ate Greece up myself at 1939, with my starting divisions plus one tank division. That's it. BTW, if GREECE is too tough, why try a major power? Seems illogical.

Anyone have the numbers for the research slots? All I know is that 80+ gets you 5.

I believe that he means that he thinks he should play as one of the major powers... like SU, Germany, US, Britain or Japan.

I'm playing Greece, not trying to conquer it!

Five is the maximum number of research slots. You don't get any more than that, no matter how many IC you have. I believe the numbers are 0-19 IC = 1 research slot, 20-39 = 2, 40-59 = 3, 60-79 = 4, 80+ = 5.
