How to drag Spain in to war?

[Mentatt76]

Playing as Germany I have seen this only once, they have joined my faction. But in later games I could never convince them..

Same for Italy, no matter how much I help them out in scw, or send volunteers, its no use. They don't intent to join axis.

So is there a truck for that?

After the internal Spanish Conflict there is a 3 or 3,5 Years-Timelimiter, which make´s it impossible for Nationalist Spain or unhistorical Comintern-Spain / Democratic Spain to join a Faction.

Historically Nationalist Spain never joined the Axis, but that could happen if you get Friend with Spain-Focus and the Timeliner Ends sometime 1943.

Italy should take the italian focus "Pact of Steel" on historical and on completion ask Germany to join axis.

For Spain Germany can do the german focus "Alliance with Spain". This will remove the spanish National Spirit "Recovering from Civil War" that prevents them from joining factions. After that they should also join axis I think.

Yep, Italy will chose that and About 1940 (don´t remember the specified Date) they will join Germany.

Spain will have a Time-Limiter and it dosen´t matter what you do, it will be not before 1943 (specified Date) before the National Spirit is replaced. That is mentioned by many players which are playing Germany since 1.9, which goes the correct historical way to that date.

But that must be in the Dev Dirays for 1.9 or in the Patchnotes there. The Devs mentioned it that there were make many Changes to that. But I´m to tired to search that.

Earlier. Shoud be mid 1939 on historical.

But something seems to be wrong. There are several reports that this is not working. Maybe someone knows why...

The Pact is done from and with Italia, but they fight first Mid 1940 (Mai or so) when Germany Attacks France from North. That´s what I mean with joining, because Italy said that they need Time to get fully equiped, which won´t be done up to 1942.
