It's quite a strenuous task though of course. It's certainly possible to beat the Soviets and/or the Germans as Poland. If you want to be gamey, prepare from the beginning of the game to start a naval invasion of the UK. I guess you can knock over Romania for the oil fields and then eat up the other Balkans. If you are going to join the Axis there's not a ton you can do before Barbarossa.

Soviets are scripted to DoW whoever is on their western front around that time. If you are in a faction everyone else in the faction will join you unless you declare a limited war (which is what Germany does most of the time). As long as you are at 0 neutrality you can declare war on anyone. Also, drop your current IC below 30 (switch to worst laws) and you'll get a decision that knocks off about 50 or so neutrality over time. Since you are polar opposite in ideology and they are fuckhueg, your threat will go up quickly (Your neutrality is reduced by whatever the highest threat in the world is against you). As Poland, you'll want to use spies to Raise Threat on the Soviets.
