About provinces in HOI2?

[unmerged(22292)]

In HOI1 Estonia have only 1 Province, but Estonia have Larger area then Belgium or Neterlands. Only in this both countries lived more people then Estonia.
Will in HOI2 Estonia consist from some provinces?
Estonia belong second biggest Baltic sea island Saaremaa. Will this island or other large island Hiiumaa?
It will be great if in next HOI2 screenshot are include North europe.

Go and check the East Front screenshot. Latvia got some extra provinces so I would be very surprised if Estonia is still a single province. Hopefully one island will be added, although this is more doubtful.

Even the Channel Islands weren't included
So my guess is that Estonia will get 1 or 2 more provinces but no islands ...

I pray for the day that we can play with actual satellite-maps (in 2063 A.D.)

Yes! Satellite maps!!

Those islands are nice to have when you play a small nation, but most of them were useless from a strategic point of view...
Sorry

In HOI2 Screenshot Lithuania have 4 provinces, but in game i hope that Lithuania have territorial claims on 4 Poland provinces (Wilno, Lida, Suwalki and and Grodno). This Lithuania territory Poland occupied in 1920.

Well those islands are MUCH larger than the Channel Islands, so I'd say they have a bigger chance of getting in.

Ouessant a Brittany island near Brest is very small but exists in HoI 1 but without a port. I may say something wong but i think there was a german sub-base in Ouessant.

Has anyone ever thought of the bad effects of those islands.

I am of course talking about a hidden Soviet airbase with dozens of strategic bomber fleets bombing the heck out of Helsinki, Danzig and other considerable cities...


Are there straits in HOI? Straits a`la EUII, I mean. If there are then maybe those islands could work as one province and with strait connection to mainland Estonia, but an island at that position in a WWII game is just a disaster waiting to happen.

But indeed from geographical point of view the islands should be in, afterall the larger and Southern one is a bit larger than Luxemburg is it not?

Will in HOI2 islands like Faroe, Shetland or Orkney?
I think Faroe is important strategic point in Norwegian see (Between Iceland, Norway and Scotland).
Are In HOI1 Orkney islands A part of Scapa Flow province?
