Feb 14.
Time to give you guys an overview of what's happening, and time to make some decisions.
Here are the techs I am currently researching:
Basically, I'm running out of manpower to the point that in a couple of years (2-3) I'll be completely out. So, time to switch from training massive amounts of infantry, to making mechanized/motorized infantry and armored divisions. This way I get more bang for buck. Also, large mechanized forces are MUST for operation Barbarossa, where the distances being crossed are beyond huge. Obviously I'll also keep making Mountain divisions, since Motorized and Armor divisions get HUGE penalties when fighting in the mountains, and the Caucaus region happens to be very... mountainy.
Before, I couldn't hope to assemble one motorized division. However, now, my industrial capacity has more than tripled, so it's much easier for me to field IC intensive divisions.
Production wise:
Basically, upgrading my army and building up a huge reserve of supplies, since I will need to keep my entire army on offensive supply during the entire campaign (Barbarossa) due to supply problems.
Politics:
Nothing new there, except the US hasn't entered the war yet. The way Japan is acting, that won't be for long now.
Now for some maps. Middle East annexation is progressing slowly but well. It would go a lot faster if I had Motorized infantry, which EXCEL in this kind of environment, but I guess beggars can't be choosers:
Africa is really boring atm. Just couple of divisions sparring. I took everything of interest there, nothing much left to fight over except sand.
I've begun producing massive amount of garrisons to take care of the resistance movements in France and the UK. So far I've subdued all of France and the southern park of the UK. All that is left now is Scotland and Northumbria:
(Red is lots of Partisans, green is no Partisans, UK and France used to be completely red)
The Germans are getting prepped for Barbarossa:
A fast count reveals something on the order of 140 divisions are there, ready to storm deep into Russia. Gonna be an interesting war.
Japan, in the Far East, is WTFBBQLOL owning:
Controls all of China, and half of Indochina. I'm guessing India or the Phillipines are next. That will drag the USA into the war. Oh well.
Now is the time for some Grand Strategy. I'm not going to add my troops to that of the Germans; I think what is arrayed on the Eastern front is more than enough. No, I'm more planning on attacking on a second front from the South. So here are my options:
Option A - go through the Causcaus, seize all of Stalin's oil fields, and seize Stalingrad, then link up with the Germans.
Option B - EPIC OPTION. I actually pulled this one off with Italy. Attack through Siberia and split the country in half while capturing the enemy's Industry in Novosibirsk.
The problem with option B is I will have to deal with Partisans every step of the way, I have to occupy large amounts of territory with slow moving troops, and I will have to maintain large troop concentrations to defend from a British strike from India. If the US enters the war they will actually reinforce the British in India and make a massive push, hitting my Soviet campaign in the ass and seizing the Middle East from me. I know this from experience. Also, I'll not be able to keep any of the territory I seize from the Soviets sue to shitty peace treaty deals.
Since I've already played Option B, I think I'll go with Option A and see what happens. Besides, I doubt I could pull Option B off with the amount of troops I have.
Then again, doing Option B with such a shitty army sounds like FUN in a masochistic way. I mean, I'll be fighting in shitty, cold, partisan riddled territory halfway across the world with an overloaded supply system while fending off enemy troops from the Caucaus, India, East Africa, and my flanks in Siberia. Furthermore I'll have to fend off US amphibious assaults in the UK, France, and Spain. Something else will also probably go wrong, because if it can it will  And I probably don't have the manpower to even persecute the entire campaign.
So what do you guys say, should I do it? I'm gonna go play another game while I decide

I like version A. Oil is a valuable resource..both in having it, and in keeping it away from others. You take Stalin's oil fields, and he's left with inf divisions instead of mechanized and air force. And if/when the US does enter the war, you might have some of their firepower land on germany instead of you..which could potentially free you up for a flanking/counterattack.
Great "story" so far BTW. I'm constantly checking back to see if this thread is updated.

Well, the thing about Stalin and the Soviets is... well, they've adopted a doctrine called "Human Wave". Pretty much, sending waves and waves of infantry at the enemy until he crumbles. So he won't really care if the only thing he is left with is Infantry; it's what he expected anyways
Also, the Soviets have huge reserves of Oil. They could easily continue the war for another year or two even if I seized their ENTIRE oil fields. Keep in mind that a lot of the Soviet oil comes from Siberia too... Also, I doubt any US initiation of the war will start with fighting Germany, since I do control the entire West Coast of Europe after all... the most the US can take away from the Germans is North Ireland. Whoopdedoo  I, on the other hand, have a lot more to lose.
It seems the supreme war council of Spain has spoken. To the Caucuses we go, my little Fascist twatsticles. Time to annihilate Turkey.

So, here's the situation. It's June 13, the Germans start Operation Barbarossa in 10 days, and I have yet to get into position. While I was mopping up in the Middle East, the British fleet rebased to Somalia and then proceeded to kick the shit out of my transports. This meant I had to move my troops overland, which is REALLY. FUCKING. SLOW. To make matters worse the new British fleet successfully unloaded 11 Allied divisions into Oman, with more pouring in every day. I myself only have 11 divisions facing them, meaning we're at a stalemate.
Normally, I would ship in an extra 6 division I have in Israel doing garrison duty, but I can't because my navy has been blockaded, and an overland trek would take 3 months. I can't use air power to bomb the Allies into submission because there are no airbases nearby Oman that I control.
So now, I'm sitting in Medina with a bunch of veteran combat squadrons, trying to clear out the British navy fast enough to ship in 6 divisions and crush their beachhead. Otherwise, if they keep shipping in allied divisions at this rate, I could lose a chunk of the Middle East. No good.
The other half of my army is split on the borders of Turkey. I can't ship them into the Middle East due to the British blockade. Fuck fuck fuck.
