LOL. I thikink you see so little roubber production is because much rubber came from South america; who has no nations considered "majors".
Hmm. I like the USA stats. What don't they have?

True, not every country has oil to rubber tech, or even the oil to convert. All the majors do except for Nationalist China (low level technology, you can research to make it more effeicient).
However, most countries have at least one resource which they have a surplus of (by surplus, I mean more production per day than needed to run their factories). You can get resources you are short of by trading resources you have too much of on the world market. That is how most countries will get a large portion of their rubber (as it was IRL).
BTW, there WILL be a natural rubber crunch. The more advanced nations with the appropriate techs will have an advantage. There will also be a less serious oil crunch. But think, if the game had enough resources for all countries to run their factories at full bore, what use would there be to even have the resources in the game. Gotta have something to fight over.

Hopefully the Brit is O'Connor or Slim.

That right: 4 Infantry and 1 cavalry
This is great! Thank you much, Castellon!
Hmm... I wonder who those seven level four Japanese Land Commanders are.... I wonder if Yamashita, Homma, Iida, and Imamura be included in there?
And is Yamamoto Isoroku one of those Level 5 naval commanders? And maybe Genda is one of those air leaders. I believe he was a good strategist. I can't wait for this game

The manpower numbers do not show the initial "stockpile" of manpower that each nation starts with. That "stockpile" is very large for the USSR and many other nations. It's not so large for the smaller nations. Withhold judgment until you have all the info on the parameters of the game.
So there's a manpower pool separate from the manpower pool? Can you explain the difference, please.
Wasn't he in charge of the combined fleet? He wasn't in charge of a fleet during the timeframe of the game.
Ah, I see. Yes. I didn't know HoI could do something like that!
I was just thinking since he was a naval commander, he would've been in charge of some fleet.Meiji-Tenno
So, its manpower growth, those numbers? Sorry, but they are completly out of, errr, everything. They don't seem tied to population that much, do they?Originally posted by MacGregor

SU had greater population than US, which had almost twice German, which was about the size of Japan. Now, compare it to numbers
And can someone explain Chinese manpower?
Where did all those German subs spring from?
By my count, the USN had 43 boats on 1/1/1936, the RN 47, the French navy 83, the IJN 53, The Italian navy 59 and the Soviets 86 plus 49 very small (160t) boats.
The Germans had at most a dozen 250t Type II.
Crew quality? 2 German coastal subs are equivalent to 9 British Ocean-going ones?????
There's gonna be some editin' before I play!

I would play some first: Some things might look bad on paper, but perhaps it will play more historical that way.
Maybe the manpower pool increases or decrease over time.
You know, as people 'come of age' and 'get to old'.

Does replacing combat losses cost 'manpower'? Or does it just cost for building/rebuilding a Division/Wing/Ship?
Maybey SUs manpower is incresaed by events later on? Or manpower is connected with some sort of organisation value, nationalist china 20
Did anyone else notice USA's gov't is "Reformed Socialist"... sigh what a European way to describe the New Deal...

I can see it now.
Event "Operation Barbarossa!"
"The Germans have violated our treaty of neutrality and invaded the rodina! How shall we respond!"
A. "Move the industries East, raise millions of men, and appeal to the capitalists for aid!"
B. "Surrender (Game Over)."

That's what the Russians are for.
I wonder if a better strategy with the US would be to maxiimize your industrial capacity until 39, and then pour things into research, or do reearch from the start?
Both offer tempting possibilities. A USA with an ic of 1300 would be had to beat.

That may still change... Of the top of my head: Zhukov is indeed the level 5 Soviet commander....
