Axis DOW against germany

[orionorbit]

Hi all,

I am playing a historical (i.e. when an event does not go historical i reload) game as USSR. After Pearl harbour Germany and Italy do not DOW the US. Now this creates the problem that the Americans won't occupy north africa (and perhaps no D-Day?).

First, does anyonw know what determines whether axis will DOW the US?

Also any way to get around the above thingie? I thought of loading a game as axis and DOW the allies, then save again and reload as USSR, but this creates the problem that the AI will change my construction queue...

You could just open your savegame file and include USA in the war against Axis.....

Or you could play fair and wait for the US to ally UK =)

Perhaps load up as the U.S or Germany and get them to DOW each other

Well, as far as I know, was Japan who declared the war to the US, then USA Joined the allies and declared war to Germany. so the question should be, why USA doesn't declare war to axis?

No, Germany declared war on the USA. Maybe Hitler was hoping that this would lead to the Japanese attacking USSR and so helping him in the war against his enemy, who knows.

At any rate, the US will usually join the Allies at some point, since Anglo-American relations are good and they are both at war with the Rising Sun.
