Hello,
I play as the USA in my current game (intended for AAR), it's FEB41 but Reich (with his minions - HUN, ROM, ITA ..) is pretty passive and still did not attack the France however (at least spies says so) they are lined up at the French border .. FINs are already in the Axis and Germans seized the Norway, but fighting with UK/FRA in the south Norway ..
Russian threat (with USA increasing it since the M/B Pact - not before, we don't like communists, but they did not seem that cunning before the pact) on Reich is 170 (130 back GER->USSR as far as I increase the threat on Reich since the Treaty of Munich) ..
SUMMARY of my diplomacy (again, role-played it, so intentionally did not do the best decisions):
USSR - supported our party, did political espionage and military espionage 36-AUG39, increasing threat on (of) them since the Pact has been signed in AUG39
GER - dtto but increasing theirs threat since the Treaty of Munich/Anschluss in March 38 (they have ~ 150 on UK, 130 on USSR, 170 on France)
JAP - we were friendly with no hostile activities until they joined the Axis in the summer 38, mixing increasing threat on them and doing military espionage, they have still lesser threat on us (USA) than Reich (which has something like 60 on us)
OUESTIONS:
1) may increasing threat on USSR cause that Axis did not attack the west in 1940 ?
2) How does (if any) the trading affect shifting my neutrality, we have stil 68.12, so we can't even embargo an Axis, but we canceled all trades with them in the 38/39 .. Okay, our goal is to remain neutral until the end of the (war - what will hopefully never come, if I don't count that Axis and Allies are officially in war with the only victims Poland, Austria and Czechoslovakia)
thanks and regards, ntz
