Hanseatic League AAR ... + screenshots.

So... Scenarios can suddenly end upon 'victory'? From the last screenie it looks like the objectives of the various countries are ridiculously unbalanced. Russia has to take a measly one (1) province to win, the Hansa likewise, whereas Sweden needs at least 8 provinces to establish Dominium Maris Baltici. And what exactly constitutes a 'Greater Denmark'?

I thought the Struggle for the Baltic scenario went on until 1792 and the VPs were then tallied as usual...

When I looked at one of your screenies, Sap, it looked like Bornholm (The little island south of Skåne) was a part of Western Pommern? Because it was in the waters which bordered Western Pommern, dunno if that's significant to which province it belongs to. But since Bornholm can't be a province of it's own, I would like to know what province it is part of??

On the game map, Bornholm seems to be a part of Eastern Pommerania. I pointed out this inconsistency to Paradox several months ago, but it is admittedly a really minor problem. I don't think you can even land troops on the tiny island...

An independent Holstein? What's up with that?

Actually, Holstein was never a part of the Hansa. The Hansa was a trade union of cities, including some in Holstein, but the larger part of Holstein was an important Duchy. At times, Holstein was a Danish puppet, at other times it was an important ally of Sweden's.

Much the same goes for the other provinces that constitute the Hansa in the game; it would have been just as correct to regard Mecklenburg, Bremen and Vorpommern as independent states.

However, I concede that the Hansa should be in the game since it did meddle heavily in the politics of the region.

You think it will be a big problem to re-program that part? So that it will belong to Skåne or Sjælland?

They told me that changes to the game map were extremely time consuming and painful, so I wouldn't hold out my hopes... It's just a minor annoyance since it doesn't affect gameplay, but I understand that as a Dane you are even more concerned about it than I am.

Still, you can always conquer Hinterpommern and Bornholm shall be yours.

Sorry, but that's really where you're going with this

Not so! Bornholm was legally ceded to Sweden in the peace treaty of 1658 with Denmark. There is no parallel with German war-time occupation of whole nations in WW2.

By your logic, Skåne, Blekinge, etc are still 'occupied' by Sweden.
