I was thinking...is it possible to add in random events for Random World Conquest, as a way of simulating the WW2 dynamic in HOI3? Or is that impossible?

The World Situation
On March 1st, the German Community in Belgium declared war on the Finns. After 5 days of war, the GCB was more successful than the Finns, whereas the former lost only one of their provinces, the later lost almost 1/7 of their nation to the Armed Forces of GCB. As well, since the Finns are allied with Flanders, the Communist Bloc may intervene to assist the weaken Finns.
Also, in other world news, the Communist Bloc is at war with the Allied States (Democratic Bloc). No shots were fired between the two bloc; the war between them is sometimes dubbed the "Phony War".

Zaak Blauw
Zaak Blauw or Case Blue, the planned invasion of Northern Ireland. Using a predicted future strength of the Imperial Dutch Army, the IDA High Command has created this invasion plan. First, a division of Infantry will target north to occupied a vital resource rich province, also a vp point. Secondly, a Calvary and Infantry division will attempt to encircle the central vp point, forcing the known units to leave their area and enter the Dutch borderlands where the Calvary division will make quick work of them.
As well, a 2nd Calvary division will strike deep into the heart of Northern Ireland to reach a resource rich port city. The last planned offensive in mainland N. Ireland will be the separation of the supply links. An Armored division will cut this vital link with a Milita division providing back up. Now, for the invasion of N. Irish Sri Lanka, a transport fleet loaded with an Infantry division will assault the island.
Many river crossings in your plan. And them Northern Irish have one or more ships, what if they attack your invasion fleet? OTOH if you gank them before they mobilise, they are probably going to bend over. If they are ready for you, I'm guessing you'll have to do some ad hoc re-planning. Interesting.
Just wondering, why cavalry, wouldnt Light Armour be better, or are you short of IC?
Gankenstein - Yah but its gonna be a risk i'm willing to take. Sri Lanka will be the secondary target, mainland N.Ireland is the first.
Burds - You are correct, my IC levels aren't that high. After a successful invasion of North Ireland, then I should be able to start churning out Light Armors and maybe normal Armor.

Why go for the Island of Shri Lanka at all? Is there anything important there, like VP's? Because I think you could use that extra division on the mainland.
Surt - Yep! by a whole lot, after this, the front will be somewhat smaller, maybe 30%?
Deus Eversor - Well, the plan is still in development, but your suggestion will be considered
Burds - Like I replied, Sri Lanka is a secondary objective, in case the national unity of Northern Ireland is too high that even after my capturing of the mainland, then I would consider that invasion.

Reorganization of the Imperial Dutch Army
After the victory over South Tyrol-Trentino, the Imperial Dutch Army High Command decided that the military would stay the same. However, with the victory of the German Community in Belgium defeating one of the Communist nations, Finland, the IDAHC decided that a major re-structuring of the IDA would be required. The re-structuring affected mostly in the way the divisional commanders handled their reports. Instead of reporting directly to the Field Marshal, now the divisional commanders report to their branch of the IDA. For Example, if Major General Torgersen needed to report an action, he would report to the commander of the Armored HQ who in turn would report to the Army HQ who would report to the Field Marshal.

I am surprised that Torgersen and Fretwell didn't get promoted (they were more or less the heroes of the last war. As what Happened to field Marshal Goin?
The two Mj. Generals serve better as divisional commanders, maybe later they will be promoted. Also, Marshal Goin was replaced with the new Marshal because though the later was more experienced, the former had more skills in areas such as Logistics, Combined Arms and Winter experience.
Else Things That Happened
April 14th, 1937, Finnish forces surrender to the German Community in Belgium (GCB). This came as a shock as the GCB had only two small areas, whist the Finns surrounded both of them. Not only that, Finland was part of the Comintern. The nation of Flanders was greatly shocked at this event.
I thought the other part of Greece was Canada. It makes sense to use the other guy if Goin is only good in the winter and at logistics (he would make a good chief of the army though) I doubt its the last we have seen of him. It looks like the allies are dominating the Commies.
Analysis of Northern Ireland
Our spies report that for the North Irish Army, they are certain that they are operating under a theater known as the Ettaiyapuram HQ located in Tiruppattur. As well, we know another unit that is deployed in the same location. Lastly, we are sure that there are at least 6 Brigades in North Ireland.
* So, Northern Ireland has joined the allies. Should I continue with my planned invasion or choose another nation to invade? Also note that none of their allies border me, though some are close.
DjMangus - Yah, I might add him in as the Dutch Chief of Staff if I learn how to mod that file =P
If you go for Northern Ireland and if other wars aren't keeping the Allies busy, they will try landing in your ports or possibly sending expeditions to Northern Ireland. To go up against a faction you will need to get above 100 base IC very quickly or thou shalt have thy arse kicked. Unless of course you make some allies of your own.
OTOH there will be a RandomHoi for Semper Fi, so go for it and see if you can last until that releases, then reroll in the new RandomHoi version
I say wait a bit join and the Axis then declare war on Northern Ireland. then you would have the full support of the Axis powers and the partial support of Flanders Comiterm.

True. Maybe I could ally myself with the pink nation to the north, that might add some leeway.
Ya that could be another option. The Axis are influencing me towards them. Also, the Axis are in a war with a nation (but I forget who it is)
Also, does anyone know how to add a minister into the game?
The good thing about attacting NI now in the allies is you will be continuously at war. I think that is worth the risks of the Allies involvement and govs in exile.
