HOI4 Challenge: Can a Soviet Intervention win the Spanish Civil War?

  • The Soviet Union today will come to aid the Spanish Republicans in their civil war, seeing it as a great opportunity to expand their influence the Red Army will mobilize and be sent to the Iberian peninsula to try and crush the Nationalist rebellion.
    Along the way the influence the USSR has over Republicans will quickly grow, slowly making them more aligned to Soviet interests than Spanish, this state of affairs cannot last so eventually something will have to give and the Second Republic will undergo a massive transformation.

    I can be a simple man sometimes, I got the idea for this. Liked it and made it, not a bad thing at all though, once in a while you just need do something small instead of a world conquest. Doing little things that can give good benefits ingame is an something I'm a fan of.

    Thinking about it, this is actually a brilliant strat for a Soviet run. It gains you plenty of experience (both air and army), basically guarantees you a Spanish puppet (which eventually breaks free admittedly, to which I always allow it to have its freedom in order to keep a foothold in Western Europe), upon which you can launch an offensive from Iberia into Vichy France/mainland France whilst pushing against the Axis from the Eastern front. Oh and before WW2 you can also invade Portugal and puppet it too

      I believe if you're fast enough you can flip Spain to communism before they take "Oppose the Communsits" so they'll never be able to break free

      you can have spain puppeted forever if click a decision "install fraternal republic" or something for 50 pp which forces them to go communist and it locks them out of their democratic focus tree. Just deny their request for autonomy and you are set

    16:00 NSB update has broken some portraits like the one for Salvador Abascal, Mexican fascist leader, instead of him there is a generic portrait with his name. There was also a bug with Petain portrait, because of it Vichy could not do its focus tree but it was fixed by Paradox.

    4:55 Enrique Lister actually flips to the Anarchist side when they rise up, so if you haven't done this focus yet, then the general you get if the republicans lose will change from Lister to Valentin Gonzales, interestingly enough.

    10:59 Stalin taking Leon to end the Spanish Civil War... it's almost poetry, especially if the Soviets took it with ice axes. Or I guess because this happened in 1937 it'd be foreshadowing.

    This is an unusual way of helping the Republicans in the civil war. I don't know if I ever saw someone doing this, I would actually never think of just declaring war on Nationalists. It is interesting but I don't think it is really worth it, you are raising world tension while you can win with just volunteers and instead go after Turkey or Poland for example without worrying about Allied interference.

    Turns out killing Romania and Turkey, then parking 240 infantry divisions from the Baltic to your puppet is a tiny bit OP.

    Jose Dias is a communist leader for a SPA (or SPR) tag, but on historical this tag always belongs to nationalists and our yellow Spain is tag D01, that is why mr. Generico is in charge. If you puppet nationalists you will get Jose, if Spain was communist at the start of civil war and not democratic you would also get Jose.
    I also have an idea for a challenge: win Sino-Japanese war as Soviet volunteers. And not just expel Japan from mainland but cap them. I actually did it couple days ago, but was very lucky that my naval invasion from Shanghai actually launched after 2 month. But they had 2 armies staying home for some reason, so even with 7 volunteers I had to relentlessly savescum to eventually beat them.

    I managed to twice beat the franquists as trotsky without declaring war on them, just volunteers. My strat is to rush sevilla and cadiz, then try to cut on extremadura and next go up leon and la Coruña. I've tried a bunch of times tho, and I failed miserably all the runs but the first and second... so no guarantee
