Just played a Commune of France game to 1945-- haven't quite yet conquered all of Germany, but a couple of things have nevertheless caught my attention:
In Europe, the 1937 Ausgleich negotiations broke down and caused a war between Austria and Hungary, at which point Serbia annexed Bosnia and Montenegro. During the same war Iron Guard Romania took the opportunity to declare war on Hungary and won back Transylvania. Greater Serbia, Greater Romania and Greece then declared war on Bulgaria, won that war, and then Greece decided to have another go at the Megali idea (instantly getting a core and not a claim on Istanbul, no less!) and declared war on the Ottomans. The victorious Balkan alliance didn't even take Gallipoli, and the Ottomans eventually steamrolled 'em. Last I checked, the Ottoman Empire had 101 IC and I was starting to plan an eventual Franco-Ottoman war.
The Bodiv... Badis... the Syndicalists out of Calcutta eventually won the Indian war of unification, joined the Internationale, brought Burma in and have been an absolute help in the war effort. Qing China annexed the Shanqing, annexed Tibet, went to war with Mongolia but then managed to lose its land connection to Tibet when Russia went to war with Mongolia at the same time and followed Mongol conquests down to the Yunnan border.
Yeah.
*Sod it, I just wrote "reintegration of Thrace/Bosnia/Eastern Rumelia" events because it was bothering me.
- When deciding what to do with Flanders-Wallonia, the option to give Flanders to the Netherlands (Syndicalist ally, natch) didn't work-- the decision freed Flanders as a Syndicalist puppet rather than ceded the territory to the Netherlands.
- Both the event for the CSA to cede Algeria to the Commune of France and the CoF event to create a North African "sister republic" don't have Kasserine province scripted in-- when the CSA ceded Algeria and Tunisia to me, I still had to manually negotiate Kasserine back afterward. Likewise, when the "Greater Algeria" of Alergia + Tunisia was released, I had to manually give Kasserine to them after the event fired.
- The Ottomans really ought to have some annexation events for Greece, Serbia, and so on. I was quite disappointed when the Ottomans managed to absolutely curbstomp the post-Balkan War alliance of Serbia, Greece and Romania and didn't get so much as a rising claim on Thessalonica, much less the opportunity to restore the Empire to something like its 1912 European borders.*
