Turkey strategy?

[Nostra]

I've been trying for a few times for a succesfull campaign with Turkey...

In order to war early I swith to Fascism asap. Declare on Greece and win the war. Problem is that when I try to take another country around me England or FRance garantee independence almost immediately... So now I'm stuck, joining axis is an invite for england an USA to land forces and start having fun... Not joining and declaring on Soviet Union at high of German invasion is also not going wel since I have to go through the mountains and the Soviet manpower is just to strong, then Germany loses and it's game over...

So any ideas on strategy?

make sure you have troops on your ports.

they don't need to be great troops either, just ones that can hold off a naval invasion long enough for backup

[luckymarine]

You have until world tension gets to 25% before countries start getting guaranteed, try to fabricate and go to war with a few people all at the same time if you can. If they're not in an alliance with eachother they cant fight through eachothers land so it's not like you'll be facing one giant mob if you were to declare into Greece, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia at once.

An as mentioned, have one full unit dedicated to garrisoning your entire med cost (they cant get through the bosphoros straight) and untick all boxes except ports.

France and Britain won't guarantee fascist or communist countries, although there's a risk of them joining either the Axis or Comintern.

Do let’s say you get Greece, Bulgaria and maybe Yugoslav. Then what? Join axis and loose the war together with Germany? Stay independent and avoid the war? Ottoman empire seems fun to do...

Best thing to do is join the axis and help in the war of africa to form the ottoman empire (waking tiger), after taking greece, the manpower increase is great.

Noob question: if you put the historic ai on, won’t the axis always lose? The moment Germany loses to Soviets it’s basicly over... no? Does Germany always lose?

No it doesn't it only dictates what the AI takes as focuses.
Even then it can bug out.

Also when you ask for a strategy you might want to state what Ideology you want to do.
Strategy changes depending on it and what your goal is, "successful campaign" is very vague.

Actually they can but it is rare. Bulgaria is literally the worst member of the Axis (venezuela can do better) and I would love to just take their land to simplify things. But if you do they go running to the allies for help.

They are less likely to join a faction if you're not in a faction yourself.

I just wanted to point out that statement was not true. I've seen England guarantee Russia.

Fascist Germany kicks itself out of faction when?

[!Notnyxie!]

Destroy Iran and Iraq, then build a fortress and wait for war.

[Nostra]

My goal? Take as much land as possible. So fascist :)

And ineed it’s either Greece and Bulgaria or Iraq and Iran...
