so as thailand i have managed to cut a swath of destruction through china (annexed) and russia (annexed). but ive hit a wall. literally.

when i annex these countries their puppets become my puppets. cool but now im surrounded by colonies/puppets!!!

how do i declare war on puppets or grant independence to colonies? i'm surrounded buy puppets and my only option to progress is to move all my forces back to Thailand (from west of the Urals) and take India.

( do NOT want to have to move my forces through the puppets/colonies. even with massive aerial supply its just a headache. id rather conquer them and have my own supply lines in place)

id rather come through the Warsaw pact countries and then down through Turkey then take Africa and the middle east/india. thus trying to keep the USA as happy as possible until the time is right...


ALSO since i saw this game its been reminding me of Emperor of The Fading Sun

i was hopin that maybe someone had modded a scifi version of this game? power armor, massive aerial bases, space bombardments, etc. similar to EoFS.

oh and one more Q. wtf is the dif between rails and roads? rails dont seem to move troops but seem to move supply? isnt that kinda backasswards?

yes.... but who would drive a tank on railroad tracks instead of loading them up on cars efficiently? i would assume the most efficient form of land transport would be preferred over driving a tank through a forest and having to fuel/feed the crew. when both could be transported much more effectively via rails... i mean thats why rails were so important for so long in warfare; relativity rapid troop/equip/supply moment over establish venues

ps
u can unload anywhere . you wouldnt require stations. only portable ramps
