Decide to try and hold of the Fascist Juggernaut as Greece. Build up a respectable military to hold the boarder, War begins and I wait for Germany to roll up Yugoslavia. theenemyhasarrived.jpg. I hold the boarder and wait for British reinforcements. Italy Lands troops in the south. I have nothing to stop them. Italy Annexes me in 4 days. 12/10 would waste an hour preparing for failure again.

EDIT: People seem to have actually seen my review so I may as well post some useful information in it.

Pros-
-Almost unlimited replayability (Almost everything you can think of doing is possible, Fascist America is always fun. Making Sweden conquer all of Europe is equally fun.)
-Learning curve is brutal and unforgiving but is very rewarding to master.
-Fun to play with friends online. (You can create some truely strange situations with the help of friends, my Estonian Baltic Empire for example, having taken most of Northern Europe and Scandinavia.)

Cons-
-Its a reasource hog in the later parts of the game, once millions of men are being deployed across the globe. Say goodbye to your RAM.
-Rather bland research trees. There is tonnes to research and different nations have different units and weapons to research but in the end its all just numbers and stats, all the nations are essentially the same.
-Can be bug riddled depending on if you buy DLC or not, Patches are contained within the DLC so if you want to get a better, more stable game you need to buy DLC.

This game does require a lot of time to learn all the mechanics and systems but (personally) is highly rewarding once you do so. If you can't be bothered to do that, there are plenty of cheats in the game to enable you to do some completely insane stuff (I personally took over the world as New Zealand) All in all, its a great game, not much else like it on the market other than other Paradox games, which I would highly recommend as well.
