Maybe give Japan the option to emerge as the dominant liberal global power, follow a genuine 'national liberation' strategy in Asia...

Now that would be something new. I like that idea.

For your consideration, I have been fidling around with concepts for new doctrines. I just couldn't control myself. o

Also, is anybody working on the Syndicate symbolism? the cogwheel and tools...should I?

Many thanks - this is actually just the sort of information that I need to be able to turn the base setup in the Alpha into something playable!

I'll investigate further into all these issues - Germany definitely should have a guarantee on Denmark, and probably the whole of Scandinavia - I must have forgotten them...

And resource distribution is a known issue that needs in-depth looking in to, especially with the puppets - can you also try and see exactly what resources the countries are lacking and by how much? This will help me put together a load of initial trades between all of them and their masters in the .eug file (I deleted all of the vanilla 1936 ones because they were generally inappropriate).

And no idea why Georgia and Mongolia wouldn't annex Siberia or Armenia! It's probably an AI issue, so I'll look into the way the files are set up.

If you want to do Japanese foreign policy events, that would be great! Probably leave the Chinese ones for the time-being, as these would need to be integrated with the whole of the Chinese setup. And Timotheus has already done some events for the Philippines - so if you want to do some more for American Pacific islands and possessions it may be an idea to base these on his. I also definitely wanted to complicate/develop results of a possible war with Russia for 'All the Russias', so please make any changes with this that you think may be good! And Zauberfloette has given some general ideas for the South-East Asian setup (about 10+ pages back....), so these could give some ideas on possible causes for Japanese intervention.

I'd also want to do something a bit more variable with the Japanese domestic setup than simply go down a 'the military is even more dominant than in real-life' road, in order to keep things interesting and replayable! Maybe give Japan the option to emerge as the dominant liberal global power, follow a genuine 'national liberation' strategy in Asia, as well as the choice of going more OTL imperialist and militarist, and possibly something even more extreme as well....

I liked the idea of a liberal Japan being the "Champion of the oppressed against european colonialism." At least as an alternative.

Aha, excellent! I actually needed a potential Orthodox leader in the region for the 'All the Russias' Faith and Nation events.

Patriarch Gavrilo Dozic and Bishop (Vladika) Nikolaj Velimirovic- dominant figure in orthodox churcn in that period.

I´ve got a question concerning the background story, why didn´t A-H annex Serbia?

Why would they have, they had enough problems already. Also they perhaps would just change the political leadership to a pro- Habsburg government, problem solved.

But we don't have any pro-Habsburg's politicians.

Some questions:
1. Wasn't it a part of German policy during WW1 to split up Belgium in Flandern and Walloonia. Shouldn't that split had happened.

2. Siciliy is quite conservative, socialist feelings there demands an explanation, while socialist feelings in Northern Italy are quite natural.

3. Is Russia a republic or an empire, there were a lot of czarist generals in the White Army.

4. Finland really should have East Karelia, there were plans of ceasing it after the Finnish Civil War 1919, but the finns chose at that time no to anger the Bolsheviks, if the Bolsheviks are lost German supported Finland probably would have conquered the area.

5.What about Ottoman expansion in Caucasus, I'm quite sure they would have wanted Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Here is an updated version of the Japanese-Philippines events. Changes are:

1) Germany can now demand bases in the Philippines in return for recognising Japanese dominance in the country. I've given Japan a chance of refusing this and so starting a war.

2) If Germany has either puppeted or annexed the Philippines they can pass control over to the AOG, except for the afore-mentioned bases.

I'm thinking of moving on to cover potential peace treaties for any of the potential Sino-German wars that may be triggered by the above events.

The German victory should be ok but I'm not sure at what point the event for a Japanese victory should be triggered. Sarmatia, how easily do you think Germany would collapse in such a war?

The wars are over the Philippines directly but Japan would probably want to use any victory to seize other German possessions in the Far East, so Germany probably would keep on fighting even if it lost the Philippines itself - but for how much longer?

Why would they have, they had enough problems already. Also they perhaps would just change the political leadership to a pro- Habsburg government, problem solved.

Because it was the expressed purpose of the A-H attack to crush Serbia once and for all

Given the small size of the Japanese land army potential at that time (Given that this could happen as early as September 1936) and that their navy is quite small compared to Germany's I think they would be more cautious. To risk a full scale war would risk a much larger contingent being sent to Asia by Germany whereas their existing Asiatic fleet could be dealt with easily. Given misgivings many admirals had about attacking the US due to its fleet size and industrial capacity in '41 when the navy was much stronger I don't know if they would risk a much wider war. I see it more that Germany would lose alot of influence in the area (IE - garuntees of independance would be lost on Siam and the Chinese Empires). Japan would consolidate their hold on the Phillipines and prepare it as a base for their furhter expansion. Of course, they would then view German interests in the area with contempt after that. Thats my 2 cents

Yep, sure - as long of course as I can use stuff from your projects! And if you let me know what it is beforehand, I can probably give additional ideas on how it could be integrated.

Which reminds me also - I've got quite a few new leftist and rightist French ministers organised, so I can send these to you reasonably shortly (once they've all been assigned traits and positions...).

Anything you want from my mods is yours, I wanted to use some shields and flags, and I was thinking of grabbing some country descriptions, like Canada, and perhaps modelling my USA civil war on yours. In essence, for this mod France is Fascist (I will be using my Shadow of Napoleon for that) Britain is Communist, and Germany and Italy are democratic. There are dozens of other changes, like a united China, and in South America, the USCA, Grancolumbia, and the Bolivia-Peru Confederation still exists. There are other changes of course, and once I have completed the map setup I will be creating a thread to work on the mod.

I would appreciate any French ministers you have, I am creating a couple French breakaway states and I am in need of ministers for them.

Umm, I don't think anyone's doing anything with the syndicalist symbols, so if you want to, go ahead!

And post your ideas for the new doctrines, and something could probably be done with them ( - eventually....)

Okay, I'll see what I can do with the symbols.

Here is what I have on theoretical level done of the french tree...the basic idea is combined arms attacks with unwashed infantry hordes holding the back line or engacing in wide front attacks, hoping to cause unbearable strain on the enemy...

Massive Assault Doctrine - 1936

- Saturation Bombardments
- Human Wave Attacks
- General Staff Planning
- Troop Indoctrination
- Officer training - ??? method

Decisive Battles Doctrine - 1936

- High echeleon fire upport
- Wide attack area
- Tactical unit - battalion
- Offensive focus
- Operational Reserves

Enemy Containment - 1938

- Massive saturation bombardments
- Frontline recon
- Heavy companies
- Large unit counterattacks
- Advanced reserves handling

Combined Wave - 1937

- Mechanized infantry support
- Motorized combat training
- Mobile command posts
- Target selection
- Dedicated air support

Deep Operations - 1939

- Breakthrough focus
- Raiding units
- Airborne infiltration teams
- Long-range reconnaisance
- Tactical unit - company

One more thing: a lot of countries (especially Hapsburg puppets) have 0 Ic out of whatever.
There should be some trade deals in place to fix this, becasue Hungary is wasting it's IC because of what I'm assuming is lack of resources.

Okay, that should be fine!

Which French states are you planning on making?
(I may be creating Bretagne, Lotharingien/Lorraine and some sort of Greater Provence/Occitanie...)

One of the changes in history is that after England claimed the eastern half of Australia, France grabbed the western half and established the colony of Australie. I have created this as a breakaway state where the democratic members of the French government flee. I was condsidering making breakaway states in the caribbean and Madagascar as well. I was going to keep my format of a French Civil War between Fascists and Communists. But anyhting you have will be incorparated into these breakaway states.
