A fun game

I was inspired after visiting the armymuseum in Stockholm to play a swedish campaign in Hoi 2 Arma. My goal was to build up an army good enought to beat the Soviet. What I also had in mind was to be one of the first countries in the world to produce nukes. But as it cost high IC to build a nuclear base , I'd have to wait a long time to produce my first nukes at all. But heres the vital part of what I did to create my empire, maybe someone else here has tried it. I joined the finnish winter war, and I bought Finlands whole army for loads of resurces. As Stalin sues for Peace it doesent matter if Finland has no army at all. During the word war I kept building factories and researching. When Germany starts to loose the war , I declared war and occupied Norway and Denmark as fast as possible. And after that I went in deeper in the third Reich. The provinces I gained in the war nearly gave me the oppurtnity to finally produce nukes, but it wasnt after I annexed Portugal and Spain. And now I could produce nukes. Sov declared war on allies, and they were fighting in China and in Middle east. With all of my IC, I made a mistake. I focused on playing a definsive role and build forts in all sweden, and So I did. But last night as i was drinking and getting drunk I loaded my game and played, and I thought maybe I should play an offensive role instead. The problem was that my army was very small , maybe around 80 units (in 1955. And Soviet had about 670 units). So I joined the allies and dropped atleast 10 nukes in Soviets most important provinces. When I attacked with my forces I almost immediately won every battle because of their dissent penalty hit. And now here I am, with all this power. Now I can easily beat the Soviet army as they now have maybe have around 200 units and i have around 100.
 
Perhaps DOW Turkey and cut off the Brits.
 
Yeah, they got baku and that's too bad. Now it is the end of 1956 and I've got most of Sov's western provinces and U.S got all of sovs eastern provinces and the british has the south ( but not so deep into Sov territory) . It would be awesome to deal with the allies after sov falls, but time is running out. I can't do nothing much against the allies now because im allied with them. I really didn't need to join them, I can't really think of why I did it but I was a little bit drunk at the time. I think if I produce and save maybe 15 (maybe even less) nukes I can deal with the allies. The problem is ofcourse all my provinces can't be guarded. But as I conquer more provinces my manpower is increasing, i think I have about 0.85 MP right now.
