Is there anyway for a puppet to try to break from their master starting a "private" confilct between the two?

Sure in a way. But not in the paradoxian way
What way is that? The one where your Burgundian mega-empire gets partitioned between a 2-province Austria and your vassal Spain because it's 1477?
Not to mention that Anschluss popping up out of nowhere just doesn't make any sense at all. What if I want to postpone or bring it up for some political reason? Why can't I manipulate the Austrian Nazis to stage a coup in 1937, or 1939, or 1942? Good riddance, those events of yours.
No but it popps up the same historical date. But with the decisions you can do it prolly within months of it's real date.
That's precisely what doesn't make sense. Even if you make Austria National-Socialist in 1937, with relations at 200, and your army massed on the border, they still wait until the historical date. That's the part that makes no sense - the reason the event happened on its historical date was because of the Nazi coup. If Nazi coups happens before or after that date, obviously Anschluss shouldn't happen on the same date.

Well, Victoria had something called "defensive alliance" that could also include the list of agressors excluded from the pact (as sides didn't have to react on the war with them).
If such thing is implemented in HoI3 (and it seems like big part of diplomacy options from Vicky is here - Limited War seems like a carbon copy of Colonial War to me), then we have problem solved.

I hope he is not still reading this - he had to go and do some real work today. I hope Paradox are strict with their employees and don't allow them to browse gaming websites during office hours!!
You were involved in the forums when EUIII/EU:R came out? Will we keep getting Dev Diaries right up to production? If so, there's going to be another 25-30. Plenty of time to answer all of those questions.

I remember the anticipation for EU2, with its fancy new "events"
I can't quite recollect what happened with EU3 or Rome, but a quick check on the Rome forums reveals that the DD's stopped about 2 months before release. From that point on it was mostly AAR's by beta-testers.
On the other hand, HoI3 is a relatively more complex game, and Johan reveals very few details in every diary.
Dev diaries stop about when the game is shipped to print or so.
Hey Paradox, you have forgotten to add this part into the Development Diary Archive...
That was a fun part of vickie. or at least that's where I remember it most from in my various forms of the risorgimento.
We need this feature!
Just make it so the game looks for COUNTRYTAG_com.bmp COUNTRYTAG_fas.bmp COUNTRYTAG_ali.bmp etc whether it exists or not so we can at least use it in mods. This would be useful for countries like Germany, Yugoslavia, Hungary etc.

They can just make that depend on party in charge.
As Sparrow points out it makes no sense to tie it to alignment. If flags change, they should change according to state ideology, not alignment. Just because a paternal autocrat Romania drifts towards Comintern under intense pressure from SU, it doesn't mean that Antonescu will start waving a red flag.
Well now many things can change. The war can start even in 1942/43
Germany can prepare better. Another thing is that they could have better equipment and tactics while western doctrines should still be backward due to no experience with German strategy. They should still belive in Maginot line and static defence + no panzer divs but tanks as support.
Another thing is Barbarossa. U dont mass troops along Soviet border (but for example on the old Polish - German border prepared to counter if Russians would attack) and influence them. That should prvent from war for a long time and help in gathering resources. No casus beli due to troop concentration - Stalin has no reason to think that germans will attack.
Spain - Marocco well protected (ceded to em) and Gibraltar in Axis hands. I dont think Germans wouldnt go for that. Petain and Vichy (war and troops in France) are nothing in comparison to advantages from that situation. Till no greater defeats it should be possible.
I like the new system. I wanna know:
- will countries be influenced by victories/defeats
- will gathering troops along borders have negative impact (or positive - like Anschluss)
- will u be able to offer something for countries that arent decided if they want to join ure alliance
- will u be able to change sides
- will u be able to make peace negotiations with foreign faction - like u are at the gate of Moscow but want peace and offer retur to old borders (in HoI2 there was not an option just total victory or defeat)
- will u be able to select which countries from ure alliance/faction u want to go to war with u

Dare I say...AWESOME! Limited war, embargo, threat levels....
You guys are going to outdo yourself yet again.
Keep up the great work.

What exactly does embargo do, I wonder? I mean, if all it does is stop you from trading with the country...well, I could already do that by simply not trading with them. What's the difference? Is it supposed to simply represent a declaration that says "Hey, we're not trading with you guys, because we don't like you, not because you have nothing to trade for?"
It seems a bit odd as an option in a game where all trade happens through bilateral agreements between governments.
