Will post the other screenshots of starting scenario when I get home tonight.
Basically, I am trying to avoid the gamey tactic of building Factories and only Factories to increase IP this early. I might go ahead and mod the part where i get more then 1/2 IP of annexed countries (if i can find out how to do that) just to make things a little easier.

You'll have plenty of things to come up with once i post the screenies...5 tech slots, for instance, need research. I'd suggest Industrial (since a lot of other techs will have to wait a year before i begin them otherwise suffer major penalties for researching '39 tech in '36) etc etc.
