I was almost always having to trade for huge amounts of steel, tungsten and aluminium.

Spain and China are my bogey teams! The other thing about China is that yes they have a huge amount of manpower, but their natural resources are terrible. Beating the Japanese is a very precise operation and a lot has to go your way. Youd have to literally use them for every fight and even then youd have to grind a war slowly rather than win it quickly. Even in my world conquest games i dont think ive got anyvody that skilled. Still got a bunch of China and Communist China achievements to get.including grinding a level 9 field marshall as China.sheesh! Thats gonna be a pain. Illusive agent and getting 5 agency upgrades gets you two more.spy master only gets you more spies if the faction you are joining or becoming soy master for has enough puppets in it.i think.

So with Spain in the axis you will need to puppet a whole bunch of countries or at least hope Germany will. Click to expand.Its not factories i dont think, i think its the more nations you can add to your faction.
