Cheat to Counter Annexation Bug?

I can see how that would suck. This is a known bug however, and is fixed for 1.03, as you know. Untill it comes out you could try forming more of a front with Mexico and have a few antipartisan groups (cavaly with hussars are great for this) behind the main line to prevent them from sieging provinces.

Turning pops to officers is a good way to get a quick leadership bonus and will raise the max leadership you can have (and also the monthly leadership gained, though only by a little. Non-national pop officers will not increase monethly gains.), although it is quite expensive for the early game.

How big is your army? In my USA game I used about 20 divs in the first war(1838-40ish) and then 40 in the 2nd (1842-45) to first reduce and then satilite Mexico, but around 2/3 of them were reserves.

This sounds like a good suggestion, but I'm not sure I understand the specifics. In your example, are you saying it would be a good idea to invade Panjab just after England finishes it's war with Panjab? Would this be because Panjab will start out with a significant war exhaustion level from the outset?

I think he means don't fight a big war when there is a lopsided war where you know someone if going to be annexed fairly soon going on elsewhere. If no one is annexed, no bug.

I guess I managed to avoid war in that period. You probably should too untill 1.03 comes out(might be by the end of the month).

Is this a 1.02 problem?

Could be, or maybe it's only noticeable with the added partisans in 1.02?
