Oooh, many thanks - these look like exactly the right sort of people. Chandler sounds great, and could even be a possible HOS/HOG...

EDIT: Ah, and of course - Randolph Hearst was from California as well! He has to be in there somewhere...

I meant to do Hearst and I forgot about him . . .!

I have a friend who quotes him quite often...

"You provide the pictures, I provide the war."

Well, as a possible minister in an alternate alternate timeline :rofl: here is Upton Sinclair, perennial crusading Socialist reformer candidate for office, he ran for Senate and Governor in California unsuccessfully . . maybe a possibity if the Chandler government gets couped/conquered - liberated by a nation on the left . . .

Just stopped by to tell everyone here how much I love looking at what you're doing here, can't wait to play this mod

Unfortunately I got two very important tests in the next two week and for that time I promised myself not to get too carried away with HoI2 *g* But afterwards I'd really like to help out a little more here

Immediately jumping out at me is the possibility of giving the Germans the chance to accept the new Japanese backed Philippino Government, but demanding naval bases (eg. a couple of islands and coastal provinces). This would fit in with prior German policy in the Far-East, eg. only taking strategic areas and relying on local governments to do most of the actual 'ruling', and would have a precedent in the German recognition of Japanese overlordship in Manchuria.

Good idea. Wish I'd thought of that. Might go back to the events myself and see what I can do.

One thought on the events. I could write an event so that if Germany conquered the Philippines (or puppeted it) it would pass control over to the AOG (except for the afore-mentioned naval bases).

Also, I've been meaning to ask, what is the 'cheat' you use to view the province id's while in the game itself?

Some buzzwords for Bretagne...look for Abbé Perrot, bleun brug, Mordrel, Roparz Hémon on google...

Isn't there already a Henry Kaiser available as minister for the USA? I think he's a +5% IC Head of Intelligence...

There's also an Upton Sinclair. And a Charles Chaplin. :rofl:

Incidentally... I can't really download this mod to try it out and look at what you've done because my internet connection is through someone else's computer.... but I have a question about the Second U.S. Civil War.

Will Texas be one of the potential combatants? Or is the tag used for a more comprehensive movement, like the syndicalists or America Firsters?

America First uses the TEX tag.

Here are some more West Coast/Cal leaders and tech teams ZIP FILE

More California leaders, tech teams

Culbert Olson was the first Democrat elected Governor in 44 years in 1938. He ran on a New Deal Platform, and narrowly defeated Upton Sinclair and his EPIC Socialist campaign in the primary.

Harry Bridges – Radical labor leader, head of International Longshoremans Union, active in labor strife in the thirties, accused of Communism in the McCarthy era, possible minister in a Left wing govt

Standard Oil of California, petroleum products, etc

Todd Pacific Shipyards- large commercial and naval vessels
Everett-Pacific Shipbuilding – net layers & tenders, landing craft, small vessels

Joshua Hendy Ironworks – mining equipment, foundry items, and built engines for the navy

Consolidated Steel of Long Beach made small ships (destroyers, etc) for the US Navy

Joslyn & Ryan, Naval Architects, ?? did design work for USN during WW2

Los Angeles Steel Casting, shipbuilding for USN during WW2

Bethlehem-Alameda Shipyard – built ships for the USN from Pre WWI til after WW2

Will California include the Pacific Northwest? If so, then you have Boeing . . .

Well, here is another possibility, Robert Oppenheimer was working at the University of California when he was tabbed to lead the Manhattan Project . . .


California could turn into an eminently playable nation, heck California has the land, resources and population of a medium sized country in reality . . .

Also reminds me - I need lots of potential Habsburg and Austrian dukes and nobles to fill out the minister files of the Austro-Hungarian states. The Hungarian file looks reasonable, as most of its ministers seem to be aristocrats anyway, but the Austrian and Bohemian ones especially need something of an overhaul.
