You suggest that Britain must have more puppet states?Following are some changes to the British Empire to consider:
_ Southern Rhodesia should exist as a British puppet at the beginning of the 33 scenario similar to Newfoundland. It was a self-governing colony and although not technically a dominion it was unique and treated like one. It was administered by the same government office as the other dominions, not the colonial office used for other colonies. The “Southern Rhodesia Defense Force” should actually be their colonial troop unit. Salisbury should also have an air base as they were part of the Commonwealth air training program along with the other Dominions and trained thousands of pilots.
_ Jordan should also exist as a puppet. It was given nominal independence in 1928. Britain should have access and military control at start, similar to Oman, Nepal, etc. The Arab Legion colonial troop unit should then be a Jordanian military unit.
_ There are a number of British protectorates that were nominally independent but administered and defended by Britain. Brunei and Kuwait could also exist in a similar fashion as they are only one province and easy to create. They could be created and treated like those referenced above. Other puppets that that could exist get a little messy so it is probably better to leave them unchanged.
_ Burma was separated from the British India (Raj) in April 1, 1937 and created as a separate colony. I think it should be released by event then.
These are relatively easy to implement since the NWO mod is included and these countries already exist for that mod. (I released the above and took control at the beginning of my game just for a little extra flavor). Couple of things to consider... I’m not sure if any of the above had any IC so it would be up to Britain to supply them with resources, supplies etc. but then that is how is should be given they are only puppets. Brunei and Kuwait should have oil resources. Rhodesia and Burma’s flags will not be correct since they currently have the flags of independent nations created after WW2 but that would be easy to supply the correct colonial flag. When they are released the NWO mod gives them several 1945 vintage infantry divisions that should be deleted.
I'll have another post reporting some things from my current game.
This need a lot of work general for those countries...
