In hoi4 we have volunteer devisions. This is where you may lend a small number of your own divisions to another nation at war. Your troops will then participate in the war fighting, gaining experience and training. Awesome feature that has proved to be fun in eu4.

Here is an idea on a similar form of expeditionary forces. The possibility of escape for brigades and pilots from occupied states. These states would still have to be resisting. Perhaps with active faction leaders?

General De Gaulle inspecting Free French commandos.

The 1st Independant Parachute Polish Brigade, numbering 3,100 free Pols. Known for dropping into Arnhem in '44 as part of Market Garden.

The Czechoslovak Brigate was some 4,000 strong. And the RAF had three squadrons flying under Czech markings.

The Foreign Legions of the Reich. One such brigade is the Walloon Legion. Belgium volunteers from the french speaking regions of the country. Featured on stamps and postcards in the Reich.

I'm a fan of plausible historical flair like this that could be added to the game. I can see it as a system that deals in occupation laws. Foreign divisions could be received into your national army. Select the template for the division. That division goes into the training/arming phase as an experienced division. Equipment must be supplied to them of course. An example of this is occupied, "1st polish division" arrives in Britain. Britain places it as a paratroop template. Britain gets a trained foreign division with no equipment! OR Mongolians cruising in Soviet IS-2's. :rolleyes:

Do you have any dlc thoughts? Mod ideas? A Bridge Too Far link?o_O

maybe there could be something like (if u are part of faction u can have government in exile) u could have event gather(call for) volunteers and few months later would apear some your units in country where u escaped and u could give them as volunteers to your faction leader(surviving member) and after liberating your country u could call them back

So, my understanding of the WWW streams (it happened in WWW/Japan and several times in WWW/Germany) is that when a country capitulates, all of its territory falls under your occupation except for those provinces that are occupied by that nation's military. Assuming that nation has reachable allies, I'm fairly sure they can move their armies to them and continue the fight until their faction surrenders.

After a faction's defeat, I'd guess WT would be over the requisite amount for all Ideologies to send in volunteers, so a country that avoids getting puppeted and/or annexed might be able to indirectly fight their former belligerents via lend-lease or more to the OP's concept with volunteers.

In fact, in WWW/Germany, didn't the Japan player do something akin to this while attacking Australia?
