Yes. Finland was the first country I ever played in CoW.
Recommended path:
- blitz sweden
- Hit communists next
- Take inactives (Baltics, Karelia, etc)
- Attack Russian empire
- work out from top right of map, expand south and west

It starting in a corner with axis doctrine (great for early game invasions makes it an excellent country. Building the right units for the Axis doctrine (IE: Motorized, MD, planes etc.)

sure this would work if enemy were passive enough to follow every script written in your battleplan.

anyway clash are pretty much farmland while you can jump right into WaW kick some asses before somebody throw you back to home menu - blitz sweden

If Russian Empire is even slightly competent, then Finland is screwed. And anyways, why would you blitz the axis country (sweden), when a weaker target (commie russia) is right there? Comintern has a very big disadvantage right at the start of the game comapred to axis, since it takes time for them to produce units to outnumber opponents. Same principle applies to Russian Empire (altho in that case you can't immediately take them out, so a coalition is best if not playing solo).

Well I see this as a Basic sort of idea? Take out the bigger threat before it gets to strong? Not sure did think it would be better to ally with Sweden and cover each others flanks, them looking out west and south while the you looking east and south. But I agree, no plan survives contact with the enemy; every game in call of war is different. The best you can do is build the right units for the axis doctrine and your position, and try your best. These guides really depend on situation, in the end.

The basic idea is fine, I never said it wasn't. The problem is telling new players to do XYZ, will result in them failing to do anything, lose instantly and quit the game, or win a couple times until the strategy fails, hence quitting the game.

My general advice is: look at what level, KDR, and win rate your nearby neighbours are; the highest ones from each category are your bigggest threat, kill them first, keep an eye out for the rest. Even then circumstances may dictate other actions, so don't blame me if you lose to Commie Russia if you sent all your forces to Sweden (by you, I am referring to OP, not Carking ^^)Have an amazing rest of your day

At the same time if you are a new player it’s best you ally these people in a coalition! You really shouldn’t go for solos until you’re good at the game.

I usually only pick Finland in Clash maps, even in random selection, I still usually get Finland, lol.The Saviour

I find that Sweden is more often taken by a competent player [as opposed to communist russia] and because Sweden will have you as the only human close to attack, while communist Russia has Russian Empire, Ukraine and Poland.

A newborn with experience. Issue is that they might not even know 40% of the games mechanics. They gotta learn what they are doing before they can do solos.

I think the term newborn means those who first start playing, ie 1st, 2nd Or 3rd game.

I meant newborn in the literal sense, didn't expect everyone to overanalyse it...
I just meant that the Europe map is CoW on peaceful mode, its just AI bashing. Good for practice tho if you're a newbie I suppose.Have an amazing rest of your day

As a Finnish player, the plan you should use is:
- Alliance with Poland and Sweden
- Join Poland in attacking Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania
- Attack Karelia to capture Communist Russia's left flank
- Attack Norway with Sweden and occupy some important provinces in Northern Norway
- Join Poland in attacking Communist Russia (call on the Russian empire to join if possible) -
And if Poland is inactive? Sweden attacks you? Russian Empire helps Communist Russia? There is no blueprint for this game. Expect every player to be different.
