I am having a rather interesting game. I decided that the Democrats are just too hard to try and keep in power, and I am thinking I would rather ensure they are in power in 1940...so I picked every neutrality event etc. that hurt them, and put the Republicans in. With them in power, I do the same thing, thinking that by 1940, they will be hated and the Democrats will be in power.
So..with my neutrality falling, and ignoring production (mostly) as I fight my ever present dissent....I get to 1938.
Dissent is gone, my IC's are very high....so I plop down 6 cv's and 3 marine divisions.
Three months later, in the summer of '37. I get the Panay Incident. Gain some stuff from Japan, or declare war on them with a -75% dissent hit. I choose war. Since Japan is a member of the Axis alliance, I am now at war with Japan and Germany....in summer of 1937.
It is now spring 1938, and Germany has taken out Yugoslavia. After ignoring the calls to join the alliance (so as not to have the Germans crushed early), Britian and France have managed (or Germany declared) war against each other, so I join the alliance. Italy follows as well.
I am hoping that the Germans managed to build up enough stuff so that they dont fall apart to the French...and that the Russians stay out of it as well, so that this could be a fun game...
