Great Powers vs Minor Aliances

[unmerged(22292)]

The idea of Minor aliances is fine. But can Minor aliances will win Powers (Germany,USSR) :wacko:
IN HOI1 Germany can fight versus ALL neighbours and win they all

What, exactly, is your point?

And if all the Balkan states + Turkey + Poland form an early "minor alliance" why can't they stand up to Germany?

I don't think that Balcans go aliance with Turkey maybe only Albania, they hate many countries of Balcans, because early Balcans was control Turkey and they have another religion. I think there will be Scandinavian, Baltic, Poland+ other country from east europe, and maybe Latin aliances.

But suppose some minors get into a scrap? What if Italy goes at it with Germany, and so gets Austria and Hungary on it's side, alá the Roman Protocols?

There were minor alliances in the inter-war period. Yet none of them acted against the great powers.

The idea of Minor aliances is fine. But I don't think that Minor aliances will can defence against Powers (Germany,USSR)

So?! What's your point? If they can't stand up to a great power, they can't. Doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to ally with one another...

Besides, an alliance of all south american countries might be a bit unsafe to trifle with.

Minor aliances can defeat Powers in number of divisions. But I think they always will lost in technology resarch in comparison with Powers.

While most minor alliances would be brushed aside by major powers, it ought to be noted that if Poland and Czechaslovakia stood shoulder to shoulder and defied the Munich conference, Germany either would have had to back down or have a REAL fight on their hands.

I am just not sure what a minor alliance would do in terms of game mechanics. Millitary access? Shared techs or resources? You can do this already...

Well, if two people playing Cezch and Poland as you insisted were just sharing access and techs, when the game ends in '48, there is no way you can win and beat out the Allies or Commintern, since points in the end matter. However a central European alliance could accumulate enough points if it did more then battle Germany. Perhaps taking out Italy and Hugary as well, or other Balkan batlic states. Don't know how the VP's are spread out in HoI2.

Well, it is certainly unlikely that a Central European minor Entant could hold its own against the major until 1948. But it could seriously influence the course of events.

Aslo, I am not sure if the VP system will be like HOI1, given that he diplomacy system is different. Maybe it will be fun, like in Vicky, to play an minor power and see how things work out.

I would think one of the big possibilities is for a forth alliance, maybe italy spain and 1-2 balkens countries form an alliance. i can see them working with germany on the france/england thing but ignoring russia and going mostly at britain.

I believe that the minor alliances are there to allow that kinda of possibility. They are Minor Alliances due to the fact that they are not Axis, Allies nor Commitern Major Allience ... but that doesnt mean one Superpower country like the USA joins it. Thats my interpretation of it ... let's wait for the game and see ...

 

[The historian]

Before WWII there were various minor alliances but they were only aginst certain nations at least in the balkans however this were not held during the hostilites but hoi2 gives us the possibility they might hold and certanly the germans would have more trouble in the balkans.
