Taureor, I have an Idea of a challenge to you. It's the Decolonization challenge. You play as UK, go through the Decolonization path and liberate all the colonies in the world. That means you have to invade and fragment all the other colonial empires, including Japan and US. Also remember to fragment the Raj before decolonizing it. You also cannot have puppets neither annexed territories, but you can annex a country in a peace deal and then release it as a free country, just to change the ideology if needed. You can still keep Wales and Scotland, because they are your cores. Any ideology is allowed, but I think communism is the best one for this challenge, because you get a focus that allows you to demand Decolonization for some countries, and it's s good opportunity to get "crush the dream". Good luck if you want to do this, and I like your videos much.

@@genericname5909 the easiest way to win is make the 3 province fallback like (the province left to your capital, your capital, the province right to your capital),then immediately research maintenance companies for that 5% equipment capture rate and make as many military factories as you can to produce support equipment with, after doing that you'll need to hold out for a bit (use last stand if needed) and then you should have enough equipment to make new divisions and push the italians back
@rob 998 Yes, I know that he had the manpower in his divisions. It was meant as a joke. However, if you go to 50:24 you can see that he lost about 16.6 million men which is a huge part of the chinese manpower.

That's not hard. You could just go fascist and join the axis. The soviets rarely take your provinces if you're good. I'd say adding that you have to be neutral Poland would be better
After the defeat of the Allies, the world was United under fascism. . . or was it. The world was split between supporters of the Thousand Year Reich and supporters of Iceland, the underdog. This is the story of a theoretical Axis victory, written by Taureor. He calls it "the mostly likely way for the Axis to have won WW2".
Play any country except the major superpower (uk, france, russia, germany, us, italy, japan)and you have to annex all of the major superpowers. they have to be strengtened to the max.
He would basically do the same thing. Help Japan in China, shadow puppet China and then probably look to order 66 Japan. It will get repetitive after a while and boring.
