How do you deal with supply problems in allied territory?
When you have supply issues you build infrastructure so that more supplies can flow. But that's not exactly an option when the territory you're fighting in is controlled by one of your allies. So aside from the obvious move my forces elsewhere, what's the solution?

make a logi company inside of your division, its in the support company tab if im not mistaken, and dont put too much of your troops on your alllied land, your allies is dumb and will flood the border with 10 width artlerry

All divisions have been given Logistics companies now.

I hate how every time I try to do something fun it gets ruined by game mechanics.

"Are you playing as the Russian Empire? Joined the Axis, allies with Germany and Italy, and invading France? lol your army's going to get obliterated by supply problems because Italy will not build more infrastructure in the alps haha"

Looks like if I push forward hard and fast enough I'll be able to move my divisions into new states that have much better infrastructure so that should help. Just need to get a good offensive going.

"Are you playing as the United States? Joined the allies? Well, each tile in western europe will contain 1 British, 1 French, 1 Norwegian, 1 Danish, 1 Dutch, 1 Belgian, 1 South African, 1 Indian, 1 Malaysian, 1 Australian, 1 Canadian, and 1 New Zealander unit. Good luck establishing a usable offensive operation with them munching on all the supply!"

Frickin' heck that sounds even worse. And they won't even effectively push forward because for that to happen every division will need to be attacking something all at once. But knowing the AI, the Belgian division is going to attack a province alone, lose all its organization, then keep flickering as it attacks again, only to lose again instantly.

The rest will just sit there and do nothing.

Remind me to never bother with friends in this game.

nevermind actually because we somehow took enough land, despite not owning Paris, to make France capitulate

France isn't the only nation that can be described this way.

Mod: Allied Construction Projects

You're welcome.

As mentioned, Allied Construction Projects mod and cheating. TAG to the owner and have them give you provinces. If anyone beats me to the invasion of Europe I will swap over and have me give them the landing as if I don't they won't build ports or infrastructure to make the invasion successful.

How do you annex states via the console, exactly? I know it's some complicated thing and
it's not as simple as "annexstate Kirov"

Using the mod isn't cheating like using the console. You are just able to use your own factories to build infrastructure in your ally lands.
