I am playing as the USA and it is 1940. I can't move on from lvl 2 of light tanks. Nor can I go on to Medium tanks. I can't see any tech that are highlighted in red showing I have to research.

Any ideas as to what I have to do?

And on a completely opposite note. WW2 has taken a strange turn. Nationalist Spain allied with Germany and seized Gibraltar. Gr. BR. lost Malta and the Suez Canal. Thinks are going really wrong.

I guess you need Refine Fuel tech in industry section.

for Nationalist Spain in Axis situation, it is not ahistoricality of IC indeed. It is just the result of inbalance of the game in its current situation. UK is unable to control Egypt ( in fact, it does nothing to stop Italians) and when Italy takes Suez, this triggers the Spanish entry into Axis event. This happened to me in all my games and saw some others on the forum that have the same situation.

On the subject of tanks. Maybe it is just a typo, but I have noticed that after I have researched medium tanks and have developed even the third generation models, when I go to produce them in the production queue they are referred to as L Armor (but they do not have the Light Armor icon).

Should the description in fact read "M Arm" instead?

Just curious...does anyone know?

I believe the original game had a hard cap to the number of types of units, so they combined L and Medium tanks to the same unit type...just made medium tanks higher in model numbers. this way they can have more unit types of unit...fooling the system.

Good enough for me. It does not appear as though it has affected any of the scores, which is what really matters.

In my game as Great Britain I save Egypt from destruction and kick Italians out of Africa. But Spain still joins Axis and I lose Gibraltar. Only good things about it is that while Germans are in Russia I am liberating Spain. But Moscow, Leningrad and Stalingrad have fallen begin 1942, so things are not so good, while peaceloving Japan is massing crack troops on border of Burma with my greatly outnumbered Indian troops waiting for the unslaught.
