Bitter Peace and Pupetting

[Johnhawkwood]

1st - I have got my fist bitter peace in AoD (as Germany) and found the years of building and struggle awesome and challenging - well done development team!

2nd - OK its '42, BP has fired, U.S declared war on me and Japan so far has kept out of it. No probs on that front but the economic front looks rather strained. I am thinking about liberating some countries and creating a few puppets. I was wondering who are the best candidates? As usual as Germany there is a strain on the oil front and will eventually be one on the rares as well. I have turned on the converters but was wondering if puppets can really help a lot.

Any ideas suggestions on puppeting as Germany in 42?

I usually puppet Finland and Switzerland, but if you play historically that's not an option. When I release nations, I like to modify their borders. I once splitted all of Balkan between Romania and Greece.

What countries do you control? I'd liberate the UK as it takes away the need for convoys, and you should get a lot of resources from the country. Liberating Poland could be handy as it should produce a reasonably sized army, which could be used for coastal defence to release your own army.

I went historical so I did not do sea lion, I have all the countries that Germany historically had in '42. Letting Poland go seems a bit unrealistic - I was thinking of letting the Netherlands and Wallonia go and then the little Caucus' countries after my India/Persia expedition which I am preparing for - maybe should do GB first though - but I have got used to having them around so would rather leave them for now

If you have had the Bitter Peace I would always recommend releasing Azerbaijan.

I produces something like 55-60 Oil per day.

Interestingly I have no idea why you cannot release Russia as you could do so in HOI 2 Arma as it reduced your TC by a great margin.

What would be interesting would be if you could release European Russia while Russia east of the Urals remained socialist...now that would be fun!
