Paradoxian Empire has completed the Post-Release Bug Fixing national focus.

This is excellent news! :) Hopefully this will mean less lag and my PC will run a little quieter. Keep us posted on how the military access issue will be tackled using the repeatable Bug Fixing Effort on your focus tree.

What about supporting the Republicans? :(
You can still do so, the only thing stopping the Nationalist Intervention from being useful was France not being able to go Fascist first in time enough (since Democracies need high WT to send volunteers, which is impossible this early in the game).

Going Communist, however, is a lot easier for France.
 
never seen anyone attack switzerland, Finland yes, swiss, no.

the german ai occasionally does it. even with no mods and me doing nothing as ireland. i can do a screenie if you want

But can you support the Republicans if you stay Democratic?

I think no is the answer.

It should be feasible, but at the cost of a political crisis and/or political points. A sizeable negative impact (but not up to a civil war) or the right taking over government (with the centrists).

Or at least as the French government turned a blind eye on arms traffic over their border there should be an event giving a few weapons to the Republicans.

France was quite divided about the intervention, it is why the leftist government did not intervene despite their sympathies. It was the first French government led by socialist, they didn't wanted to jeopardize this and all the social reforms they made, they had to stay moderate. The UK was also pressing for non-intervention.

Remember the Front populaire was a coalition from communist (not members but supporting), socialists and radical/centrist parties (the radicals/centrists wanted to stay neutral), the right was mostly favourable to the rebels.

I've only played as the US so far and every time I just build and research forever until I finally have enough units to dominate the world.

Just tried sending volunteers to Spain as France and they refused because I had a -100 'strategic reasons' modifier. So yeah, doesn't work quite yet.

When I see -100 or -200 modifiers against +10 or +20, I feel the deck card is somewhat rigged to forbid some decisions without clearly stating so.

*Very* glad to see that "Air war balancing" is near the top of podcat's priorities. Fixing this is essential.

Overall, the state of HOI4 at launch has been really impressive. Loving this game, and great to know the devs are on top of the things that need improving.

Please also do something with common enemy access, and attrition/supply (Sahara front issue etc.).

we are looking at the access issues

have you guys noticed that the german ai on historical mode often attacks switzerland and/or finland?

A few hands-off games will probably have it happen

not really seen them go for the swiss. the only case I could see tha thappen is if the dutch have somehow not been possible to attack?

This and brainless naval invasion should be on the top of the list!

if you read my list it was there ;)

Please increase the size of the unit icons - or include an option that allows player to increase the size - They are really tiny and its especially hard to identify the nation if you have expeditionary troops all over the place.
And please include some at least message popups for units arriving and a list of combats beeing fought.
