"Minor war" event

[Gort11]

It would be good if major powers (EG, USSR, Germany, UK) who are at war with minor powers (EG: Finland, Luxembourg, Palestine) did not go into "Total War" mode immediately. It doesn't make sense that you could call up thousands of points of manpower for such a small war. What happened/would happen in reality would be the standing army or some appropriate fraction of it would be deployed, rather than a massive conscription effort.

In game terms, it's silly that Germany can declare war on Luxembourg and enact Partial Mobilisation without dissent. It's also silly that the USSR can send 300 divisions to Finland in the winter war when in reality they "only" sent about 75 divisions.

When a nation is at war with one with less than 20% of their IC, they should still incur dissent for Partial Mobilisation. I have no idea how to keep the USSR from sending a billion divisions to Finland. I suppose you could somehow lock most of their units or something? I don't know.

Meh. You should be able to send as many divisions as you please. If you want to play with fixed divisions, play scenarios or different starting years.
But mobilization dissent could be tied to the IC of the country(compared to yours) you are in war against. For an example, if you declare war on Estonia as USSR and enact partial mobilization, you would only get marginally lesser of a dissent hit compared to peace time mobilization.

I agree with Gort. For me, it has no sense that a Major nation mobilizes his IC and his army just for fighting a minor. Just imagine the USA making a forced conscription and controlling factories for fighting the Iraq. This gets even more unfair in kaiserreich mod, as Germany can almost double their IC just for being in war against Latvia.

I disagree. The war should have at least a chance of playing out historically.

Perhaps, but there should be penalties for doing so.

If the USSR sends the whole Red Army into Finland, Japan and Germany should launch a surprise invasion

e: cool, I never knew about this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franco-British_plans_for_intervention_in_the_Winter_War

Might have to make a short event chain about it

I have never seen AI to send WHOLE army.
Btw. you may want to check about operation Pike (allied bombing of Soviet oil industry) and (IMO unrealistically optimistic and stupid Allied plan to actually invade Caucasus, in hope that all would rise against Stalin and maybe even topple him - I forgot codename, I read about it long time ago).
That would be chain of events - Allies actually fighting Soviets in 1940.

I smell an idea for a mod!!!

That's true. But they do send way too much, and there is absolutely nothing stopping the player from sending everything in the Red Army that way.

I agree, like if your playing 1933 scenario and you get the arab revolt just like IRL there is NO WAY britain would call full mobilisation and it shouldnt be an exception here.
