After many attempts, I found one strategy that worked for Austria in the Road to 56, with the objective of reforming Austria-Hungary before war with the Allies or Comintern.
There are some things to take in consideration:
- Pick the national focuses shown in the video. Anything different will end up not giving you enough manpower and equipment to finish it before the war with the Comintern.
- Sometimes Hitler is too stubborn and takes your land. Avoid this by not calling him to the wars (or calling him very late) so he doesn't get victory points.
- After declaring on Czechoslovakia, immediately justify on Italy for South Tyrol. You can do this earlier IF world tension is low (otherwise the Allies will guarantee the Czechs). Declare war on Mussolini before he joins the Axis.
- Annex Hungary during the war with Romania to take them out unawares, as seen in the video.
- Also, if you use Formable Nations, you can reform Austria-Hungary shortly after Yugoslavia, coring the territories and giving you manpower for the next wars.
If anyone wishes to share any other strategies to completely restore Austria-Hungary as Austria, as early as this, please let me know in the comments.
