The allies clock is broken the go to war FAR to early and the US is getting into the war in 39 to 40.

I know you will probably think that if you are agressive then the allies will attack. Well THat would be true BUT it doesnt apply to many peoples problems.

I have followed the historical route ie a choice for the events and I still rarely get the polish danzig event before the allies attack me. I'm not doing anything diplomatic either saying my DI till they reach 100. I'm not doing anything weird or strange. i mentioned this before and was told the clock works fine that was just playing 3 games so I figured it was bad luck But now I can say that statistically it cant be simply luck but design. The US is getting into the war by late 39 or early 40 in every game I've played. It seem that every time the nationalist chinese annex the comunist chinese and then move on tibet and the southern chinese state - thats 3 annexes that Germany gets blamed for and that happens very often. Any event in the world means germany gets blamed. Its impossible for germany to play the angel and delay war later. There has been talk that there could be a flaw in the NA version as that seems to be where this happens all the time.

People playing the US have seen that when they just build tech and units they get a WE 100 in 38 or 39 with 10 invites for alliance by britian per year. This shows that the WE clock has no flexability.

IF the entire world follow history then it works fine BUT if one thing changes from the Ai doing things then the world blames Germany. The clock doesn't allow germany the ability to Invade Norway, greese, France, Belgium, Holand, Luxumberg, Yugoslovia along with Italy invading albania, ethiopia and Japan China. These all happen before the use entered the war AND it still wasnt ready to enter the war until the Japanese attacked and there was real and i mean REAL concern about getting congress to approve a war against germany but Hitler made it easy by DoW the US.

The current system for some reason has the US in the war in 39 or early 40. Please look into this . Again there are feeling that it could be the NA version of the game. BUT this is a real problem and I cant see that this is your vision of the game to have the germans fighting the US before they have taken over france.

My standard territories taken before the AI doWs me are

Austria
Sudetenland
bohemia(last of the czech provinces)
[Ussually I get Dow by the allies before I get the danzig event]
so at war with the allies
Poland
at war with the US

You will notice that I havent taken france, the low countires or even denmark let alone taken the balkens and Norwary and been at war with USSR.

This is not an isolated case but the norm. The clock is broken please look int it.

Ok did some tests and Its not the Nationalist chinese. With the exception of the them demanding land from Tibet.


[edit]
This upped the WE for the UK by 21 pts
France by 13 pts
US by 6 pts or was it 8pts

This could explain why the allies seem to ingore history and WANT to go to war. When they did everything in their power to avoid another war.

Seems insane to have some event in china mean that the allies and the US want to kick hitlers arse even more when its still 1936 and hitler hasnt done a thing to to show how untrust worthy he is. The only action that could be worriesome is the occupation of the rhineland.

There is not rational reason why the world would think Hitler was to blame for the actions of nationalist china. Now if austria attacked Hungry them I could see how you could make the connection BUT not china. Come on lets get the clock to have some rational behind it.
