Allied Joint Operations Meeting

[Lolkar]

when do we start the evacuation? at the start of the war or when we cannot hold the line in Czechoslovakia?
also maybe it is an idea to use these troops in Africa, in particular the Lybian Campaign.
then we station these troops in Egypt.

1. We would need them evacuate before war, army would be surrounded from 3 sides.
2. Yes it could work too, we fought in Tobruk so we could do it again. Biggest question is still: Will the units be disbanded after occupation? Will i get equipment from Allies? (weapons and se) And manpower is biggest problem, but we havent seen gameplay as country in exile and how it work. Maybe we can get lendlease of weapons and get volunteers as manpower.
I will need 2 volunteers to try it out.

 

[thingol]

There is my plan of moving Czechoslovak divisions into France. Its just a plan, i will need someone to try it after release if it will be possible and what consequences it will have.

This is infuriating.
First the invasion planes in the making where people talked about reaping the spanish industry and now armies ready on our border for invasion.
What kind of game are you playing, allied nations? Are you trying to frighten the spanish republic out of its neutrality?

Let it be known that if worst comes to worst we still have our diplomatic connections with both the axis and the comintern, which the latter being our priority target because of the axis low chance of long term success.

A union of democratic elected leaders should know better than trying to beat on someone also elected, standing his own ground in this rapidly shifting world.

Please Spain dont make camel out of a mosquito, these are just options of moving units. What i know you could be already in Axis in a few years. We he no guarantees from you. We are still guaranteeing your indenpendence (and to every other neutral state) and this will never change.

To the The Republican Committee.

if the Committee feels these plans are a threat to the national security of Spain then we should discuss a solution to this issue in a way both sides can agree on.
I am sure that if we think and work together, it is beneficial to both sides.

You must understand that we are in an extrme political sitsuasion here. Yes we have plans do atrack Spain but we also have plans for Italy Ethopia Japan and many others. I would be extremlu suprised if you dont have plans for France. In a political climate where friends can become foes in months, we have do prepare plans for everything. Havent you seen the Axis plans for the attack on France? They include Spain in it. So we have plans where countries plan to attqck us from your country but you ask us not to do the same for you?

Possible problem, will Allied fleets be able to pass through Turkish waters and straits?
If we manage to get military access to Turkey too, maybe it would be best to walk towards French Syria to avoid the possibility of Italian navy interfering. Since I am France, I am willing to cede parts of Syria(via the event) to Turkey in exchange for this favor. If you are planning on switching countries to Portugal afterwards, I suggest your troops are deployed in France, since general AI that takes in your place will have less chance of screwing up on the Grand Baguette than in Libya. Or you can give your whole army them as expeditionary forces to Portugal, France and GB, since it may or may not prevent them from disappearing once you capitulate(temporarily, ofcourse).

But cant we just transport the army over before the war? Then Italy cant do nothing.

First off, we as Allies have no quarrel with the Spanish people, invasion plans were made our of necessity with intention of restoring your independence after the war over. We value your independence and will respect your decision to choose your alignments, but we also warn you that if your faction becomes hostile to us, it would be *strongly* advised to leave that faction immediately, since the security of our own people comes first, we would have to react, and react fast.
As I said, this is not a threat, as long as you do not threaten us.
It is my opinion however, that it is in your interest to join the Allies, since there will be african colonies and meditteranean islands for taking after our inevitable victory.

 

[Viktor_Vertex]

True, in which case my suggestion to Chechoslovakia is to focus on army size, not quality, just try to get as many men in uniforms as possible, even if they are without equipment, and get them to safety. After that, Allied industry will take care of equipping them, if rules of the game would allow us

So it has occured to me that there is a possibly beneficial deal we could make to maximize the efficiency of our industry. I understand that your research capacity is not as great as that of GB or France, and that trying to maintain a modern infantry, with up to date infantry equipment might tie up a large portion of your research time. However, to my understanding, there is only one level of support equipment. It is my suggestion then, for you to produce only support equipment and lend lease them to France and Great Britain, while we will in return lend lease you up to date infantry weapons. This way you will save on research slots, while we all could have a more efficient, specialized industry. The downside to this would be if we lose naval superiority, the shipments might get intercepted, but I do not think that is likely, and can be countered by stockpiling

We have already Portugal player, he is our allie. Off course i could switch to another country, but for me it could be more fun if i manage to fight them even if they occupy my lands. I will start early negotiations with Turkey and Romania. But this is just option, i have to try that later. And if not, i will exile into Peru or Mexico.
With regards Dr. Edvard Beneš.

that would indeed be very smart idea. we would be making a good use of the Commonwealth IC.
but with the help of the UK we can increase IC quite a bit.
if we go down the line of ''Encourage Colonial Elite'' and ''Commonwealth ties'' we can increase Civilian and Military factories in those countries. with those factories we can produce the weapons and support equipment the UK and France needs.
We don't need to do all of them, but countries like Canada and the British Raj could get a boost from this.

it is just an idea.

I would also like to take some land from Spain after the war.

1. kick them out of Olivenca
2. just a small piece of 'liberate' all of Spain with fairies, princesses and huge green blob.

 

[MarcoRossolini]

Gentlemen
I view the proceedings of our gallant allies as a very much encouraging development. Such cooperation can only benefit us all.

I should however caution against an entirely European focus, we must also cast our eyes to the Far East where the Banner of the Rising Sun spreads its evil tyranny over the fair lands of the East (and our colonies)

The USA has allready drawn a plan for an attack on Japan. The plan focuses on getting the Japa out of the war early and a massive invasion on mainland Japan.

 

[Viktor_Vertex]

When making plans for defending AustraliaNewZealand, we should have in mind that whatever happens, their eventual liberation is virtually guaranteed, even if Europe and GB falls, the US will whatever happens easily liberate ANZ. We should also keep in mind that if Japan really sets their mind to it, they can temporarily occupy ANZ, and we can't really stop them, and that this isn't true for India and China. However, we should make sure that if Japan does decide to invade, it will cost them dearly.

 

[GamesPlayers]

in the case of an invasion of Australia and/or New Zealand the Japanese would need a sizeable force, same with the British Raj and the Far Eastern Colonies.
if they intent to go to war against China, then those operations will take up most if not all their manpower but maybe it is a good idea to make a Far Eastern defence plan as a backup should we be attacked by Japan.

 

[Lolkar]

I dont think Japan can efford invasion into Aus/NZ without China as backup. But i fear that China is closer to axis. But still Aus/NZ should build some defence in biggest cities/industrial centres. Remember US cant participate until 41.

 

[GamesPlayers]

The Commonwealth could in the first year of the game make a sort of Home Guard that consist out of garrison forces. at the same time we could finetune the weapons production.
