I thinl it would really help the allies if the UK took the commonwealth devolopment focus. That would give the commonwealth a lot of new factories.

As would keeping France, which would be accomplished by going for early re-armament
Of course holding on to France is the most important thing. And with the current set up. An allies vs commies will be the main war. So doing the focuses for the UK will take about 1.5 years but would gratly help long term.
Rather dont uderestimate Axis. They can have super secret plan how to fight us. Or they can wait and dont start wars early. Remember they have Poland and Belgium at their sides. Belgium have resources poland can have good army with skilled combatant. If Spain and China joins them it would be really hard especially in Asia.
looking at our defence plan and reading through the DD's. it is in the National Focus of France to play defensive or offensive.
if we go through the Fortification focus then we can ultimately exend the Maginot Line and we can greatly increase IC in france with Metropolitan France and Algerie France.
these factories are vulnerable to air raids.
I think we can build a Fortress France if we work fast enough.

France has a penalty of 75% towards land doctrine research, so going for defense tree first, I effectively 'get' another research slot by removing the massive penalty. Now the question is, do I go for fortress Baguette or defensive focus. If the Commonwealth can bring very many troops, then fortress France is the logical solutions, but if I have to rely more on French troops themselves, defensive focus might be preferrable. I just hope that research penalty remove focus is not too far down the tree. If I am correct, development focuses give more slots but do not give factories themselves ? If that is so, we can all wait a bit with development focuses.
France also has pitiful political power due to fractured government, so government reform will have to be researched early too... It is just a question if all of that will be possible before war begins... Though I assume that defensive army tree can be researched during the war while fortification focus will be much more beneficial before...
So first i would go for (if early in the tree) research penalty remove in defensive focus, then government reform and little bit later go with Britain, then development, then back to fortress France

does anyone know if you can share/trade research like in HOI3? because i could not find an answer anywhere.
Greetings commanders. I did some research for possible evacuating of my forces.
Q: how does the game decide what divisions get disbanded after capitulation?
A: If your country capitulate completely, all the armies disbands. Some equipment will go to the annexing country however.
Q: can you share technologies?
A: No, but you can build and give equipment to others.
Military Access
Like in most paradox games, this lets you move troops in a nation's territory, but not attack from there. Airbase and naval base access requires factions and military access is not enough for this.
Lend Lease
First of all, we have the lend-lease, which for most ideologies is limited by the amount of World Tension in the world. What is beneficial with lend-lease is not just strengthening friends, you also gain XP from when your equipment is used.
This is very good to help allies, or future allies, if you have the industrial power. This can be done even before them being able to join your faction or you joining their wars. The most famous was the lend-lease that the USA did to Britain and Soviet Union both before and during the time they entered the war.
You can provide convoys for the target, so that the small nation you help out will not be forced to build convoys for a few years beforehand. Of course, those convoys can be sunk and the material lost. For more on this, we’ll talk in a future diary about sub-warfare.
You can lend-lease anything from airplanes to tanks, trucks, artillery and rifles. And you can decide if you want to send fixed amounts, or a percentage of your production each month.
This is a way to help minors to get access to materials they may not be able to build themselves.
Sending Expeditionary
This is used for handing over your troops to allies in war. Useful if you don’t want to control them, or if AI wants to fight in your theater and thinks you’ll do a better job than it. Can be handed over at any time, but AI will usually ship them to you as well.
So what i get is that country can capitulate completely only if this country isnt in any faction, but if this country is in faction it can never capitulate completely (like in HOI3). It will just lose manpower, equipment and resources. Not sure if manpower will be generated slowly thanks to emigrants and volunteers (would be nice).

ThanksGood luck with your exams.
i appreciate it. And i will still find some time for bringing freedom.- 2
Axis fools thinks their code Enigma can hide their plans. They must answner for this aggression.

It may be a good idea to make a raw plan on how to defend important areas like Portugal, parts of Africa and the Far East.
then we can make a raw sketch on how and what we want to defend.
Edit: also the generic focus tree has come in a DD. so if your a minor it may be a good idea to check it out.

I will try sketch something when i get home from school.

*George returned from the visit of his dominion and after seeing all the paperwork and plans of Axis forces he locked himself in office*
OOC: Sorry, was a busy bee last few days, will catch up
OOC: Sorry, was a busy bee last few days, will catch up
So Generals... I did a quick sketch about our possibilities or necessarities. These are just suggestions, please if you have some ideas or improvements tell me. I did not include everything (GB fortification) and im not sure about French Indochina. We could have been cutted off there and lost many mans (IF China joined Axis - Cheese is talking mainly to axis and they said that some neutrals joined them). Ilands like Malta have to be fortified and heavily defended, same with Magiton line (have to be expanded). Big priority is to defend British Indonesia and Australia with nearby islands like Guyana, same with Suez and Giblartar. We must prepare naval blocades in those areas to prevent Axis to share equipment and to prevent them from naval invasions. Some forces must be prepared to start invasions when war starts (SA can get Belgian territories in Africa), Ethiopia, Lybia and Persia (to prevent them to take Iraq). Units in France and Portugal must be prepared if Spain decide for the Axis and immediately invade them if that happens. Also we should communicate with Brazil and convince them to join the freedom. About evacuating of my forces, Turkish friend would agree in certain circumstances, Romanian friend did not answered and i did not talked with our SU friend. And from my informations it is actually possible to use this forces in better way.

it might be a good strategy to concentrate our offensives in Africa and Asia since most of our resources come from those areas and on mainland europe stay on the defensive until the US can support us.
if we pull all forces out of Czechoslovakia then we accept the Munich Agreement. this way we can deny the Axis a early Cassus Belli on the Allies
I think that we should reject the Munich agreement and pull Germany into an early war. At the start of the game I belive France has one of the biggest armies.
