Thing is though i need to hold the line against Russia, I don't really have the resources for a tough war in the Turkish mountains. About the hard way comment, well I've been trying that. Finland has joined me, I've taken Vichy France, Portugal, France, Denmark, Poland, the Low Countries, Baltic States, and Italy, Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria have all joined my alliance. What else need I attack to get Iraq to join me? Britain?

I don't really want to attack Iraq though, just convince them to join the Axis. The mountain fighting would be too hard. Yes I did try sweeping around through Finland and attacking the nearly undefended Moscow, but the USSR then moved their veterans from Siberia to defend it. It has pushed back their lines a little however. I just want Iraq to join my side so that I can puch into the USSR's southern oil fields since there are NO troops down there. It would cut their economy significantly before they could send troops to reinforce the area which would decrease their defence of the front lines.

Hey can anyone here help me out with something at all please? I'm playing as Germany and I'm in a stalemate war with Russia, I push them back then they push me back and so on and so forth. Thus, I'm looking for a way to cut their economy and lessen their ability to reinforce current units and send more troops to the front. The USSR's south-eastern oil fields seem to be my prime target. But, I can't do an amphibious invasion from Italy or nearby northern Africa (damn that damn canal that runs through Constantinople, or Istanbul in modern day). So I was thinking of trying to get Iraq on my side so i could invade the undefended USSR south, but I need some help please. Does anyone know any strategies to get Iraq to come to my side at all? If so thanks a bunch. =)

Exactly what Piumarcobuleno (or however you spell it hehe) said. The US would probably not have entered the war if Britain had fallen. Unless of course they could fin some country in Africa or the Mediteranien to launch an assault from. Since by that time an amphibious assault would be their only option pretty much. And moving a fleet for an amphibious assault across the atlantic and then floating off the coast of Britain or France while you make the final preparations for a couple of months? The casualties would probably be extreme even before you could start the invasion. Thus, the US wouldn't enter the war, which probably would've been ok for both Germany and the US because they both have a slim chance of mounting a succesful invasion on one another at this point. Would the USSR have entered the war? Possibly yes, possibly no. Most likely no, because with the very slim chance of any US involvement they would have little chance of success against the Germans in this situation. Probably they would build up their border forces and start fighting if Germany attacked them, which it would most likely do. Now, another situation. Assuming the US doesn't enter the war and the USSR is completely conquered by Germany(I should note that this situation includes Alaska and the eastern reaches of USSR), would the US have enetered if the Germans are now a couple hundred miles away from the coast of Alaska and thus have a much easier ability to invade now. My guess is both the US and Canada would have entered into what was left of the war at this point. I know that's not a game situation, but it's fun to think about nonetheless.
