    Fun fact, the bear in the game is a real bear: Corporal Wojtek was an enlisted bear of the polish 22th artillery supply company. From 1943 to 1945 he was their mascot and companion. He was reported to help carry 100lbs QF 25pr ammo boxes during the Battle of Monte Cassino mimicking the men granting him a promotion from private to corporal.

If you got Slovakia too, you can get a really juicy encirclement of every Axis division between Yugoslavia and your Western border!
    EDIT: In fact, you can pretty much take over the Allies faction through the sheer amounts of manpower and industry you get from defeating the Soviets! Which means, A BEAR IS LEADING THE ALLIES

A few notes : if you annexed lithuania, consider pupet it to allow restore the commonwealth focus. And you must change you conscription law while you are at war (not possible while at peace) with yugoslavia, otherwise you will never have enough divisions in time to fight the ussr.

    Love your guides Bitt3rSteel. Just to help anyone who may have missed it, you need to switch to Extensive Conscription as soon as you Declare War on Yugoslavia and Romania. It’s not mentioned directly in the video, but after rewatching and pausing on the political screens I worked out when it happened.
    I just had a run which was going really well until it came to the period between defeating Yugoslavia and being attacked by the Soviet Union because I couldn’t recruit enough troops. Nor could I change the conscription law during peace time (unaligned) to get more manpower.
    I ended up being able to hold the Soviets back and even make some minor territorial gains: taking Minsk and the border supply depots. I just couldn’t push any further and had issues with resistance in Yugoslavia due to lack of manpower and not being able to fill the garrison.
    Was going so well until then! I’ll be restarting and making sure I hit that conscription law change in time!

      Also - if Iran does get guaranteed by the Allies, an alternative to having to go to war with both the Allies AND the Axis is to complete the Between the Seas concept Focus - which creates the Międzymorze faction. Disband the faction and then create a new faction with Iran. This works because you don’t have to own Hamadan yourself, it simply needs to be owned by a faction that is at war with Italy. When you go to war with the Axis, call Iran in too.

    This has been the 2nd hardest one I've attempted, I've had to restart so many times, Bittersteel makes this look easy but it's carefully planned and timed. Follow the guide pretty carefully and it's totally doable. I got discouraged in mid 1940, wide open western borders, unable to push the soviets for fear of suddenly running out of manpower and guns, no tanks to open up breakouts. As BS did, just focused on small encirclements, whittled down their numbers to the point that a rush for moscow became viable. I'm done with them, prepping for germany, expecting things to be much easier at this point.

    One tactic I always use as Poland, I always hold off on demanding Slovakia until the Germans got the Sudetenland. The reason is that I then get an event handing over a piece of Slovakia to me including a core, which I don't get from demanding Slovakia myself.
    Obviously this doesn't apply to many paths but it is something to keep in mind.

    For spying on the USSR: if u put your spy in Vladivostok, he will never get caught due to national coverage being too low, he only gets a spy network on two provinces with pretty low victory points.

      @@tagus100 this works with any spy, the modifiers like nationality and whatever don't even apply because the threshold is not met, if u start a game with debug mode and hover over an assigned spy you can see the detection rate, it will remain 0 regardless of counter-intelligence, stealthyness of the spy or whatever. Keep in mind to put the spy to sleep as soon as he hits 100% because the soviets will still get enough counter-intelligence to reduce the maximum intel network to like 25% if the game goes on, and if u use more spies, you get more coverage, voiding the strat

      @@fyfef Understood. So more spies = more coverage of the country. Coverage is decided on how many VP are in the coverage zone. And more VP = higher coverage = higher detection chance. Correct?

      @@tagus100 Yeah, one spy only gets influence on the province you set him to and every province bordering it, then from those states and victory points, gets divided by the total victory points and states and multiplied by network strength to get a ratio, called national coverage, if that is below 0.02, spies will never get caught, after that the rate increases depending on traits, for vladivostok the national coverage only goes up to 0.012 with one spy there. This national coverage does affect stuff like intelligence gained and how effective boosting is, so if u want to do that, the 0.012 multiplier for boosting will make it like impossible to boost an ideology (not even including stalins trait), meaning depending on what you want to do with ur spies, u should send them to more or less exposed places, for missions only, where only the network strength matters, hide ur spies in remote places of the country

      My first run I was able to push through Romania but it was taking too long and I took far too many casualties.
      Second run I got through fine.
      Just make sure you have a strong concentration of units attacking the supply hubs from multiple directions and then just push through.
      Make sure your strong army has been swapped to a 9 INF 1 ART template (this isn't shown directly in the guide)
      Also put your Airforce up on Air Superiority, close air support and logistic strike over Romania.
      As in the video - if you're in too low supply then pull some troops back to Warsaw. You don't want them to be sat on the border taking attrition for a long period before the offensive starts.
