How does the acquire territory button work?

[johan-erik]

I played as Hungary, and I wanted to see the acquire territory button in work so I did some hrrmm cheating with noneutrality and looked for a limited war with Czechoslovakia. But there I could only select the "Sudetenland"!?

Then I tried with Yugoslavia instead and then I selected Novi Sad region, I had hoped to be able to select many provinces not just one.... so how does this function work.. and in which situations...

You can only pick certain regions, it's mainly for the historical Axis minor's goals.

Whats the point if it just goes to the annexer? Its just for show then? It should go to the first country to claim it (or if the annexed country claims it then they get it otherwise revert back to the first).

actually it basically doesn't work on smaller countries, and ussualy will not let you capture a countries "core" provinences, its good for say taking alaska from the USA, i believe its limited because there actually very few "regions" in the game only have them for countries and then some historically annexed area's and a few others such as alaska. there was a problem with randomhoi for teh same reason, youd end up getting things that sort of looked liek countries from history jsut with diffrent names, because it ran off of the ingame regions.

It's for, say, Romania when they join the war against the USSR they should claim Bessarabia, not try to puppet or annex the whole USSR.

I didn't even know this button existed until this thread (mostly due to me playing only as USA so far ), but it sounds like the intention is to enact old claims such as loss territories by (let's say Hungary as per the example given) various countries. I.E. Austria-Hungary will rise again?

Not really, it's mostly for the regions that actually changed hands or were fought over in the period. Another example would be the area of Finland the Soviets took during the Winter War, and which FIN fought to try and get back in the Continuation War.

And so if Germany takes these Providences to help Finland out, Germany keeps them regardless of a claim? Then its simply the same as before?! Claims need to overrule annex or else it simply doesn't help the smaller nations.

If FIN is in the axis and have claimed that region they will get it before GER gets Bitter peace/Annex (although seems this wasn't working correctly fixed in patch though).

Brazil can't 'acquire' french territory in S America

Heya,
Brand new player. Awesome game. Got a follow up on one on this thread:

Playing Brazil, have 'conquered' and puppeted a couple of other S American countries. I get to Oscar and Cayenne, and declare war on the french... the two options are to 'puppet' or 'acquire territories'.

Alas can't find advanced mode here to upload screenshots. Anyways, the only territories on offer are the ones over in france - Oscar/Cayenne aren't shown. Am i missing something or is this an issue? Cheers y'all.

Would be nice to have the option of 'Taiwan + Dalian' for wargoals for both Nat. China and Com. China against Japan.
