9 Scenerio's excellent, I just hope there not over stretching here and the historical accuracy isn't all over the place.

Minor issue, but it does bother me -- on the second screenshot (the 1 September 1939 shot) it shows that the city of "Memel" is already taken by the Germans "peacefully," thereby robbing Lithuania of any access to the Baltic Sea.
This is not true, as the image below illustrates:
True, it did take away a large port, but they should still have access to the water.

What good is access to water if there is no port?
There are no recreational beaches in HoI3 so you're people won't be happier

Ha, well, I know that map isn't very helpful, but I can't believe that area of the world is a formless abyss with not one single dock for, say, a destroyer (which is likely all Lithuania has anyway).
Just an idea.
That is the way it is. Check out some satellite maps if you like.. there's nothing.
Wiki is your friend:
If it is the only seaport NOW there's a very good chance it was the only seaport back then too
And, what ships they had were forced into Latvia:
Alright, now all I wish for concerning the interface is a 3D globe map instead of the 2D map. That would be awesome. Won't happen in HoI 3 but perhaps something to consider for the future eh?
For fishing ship maybe, but not a destroyer. You can't just put destroyer into a fishing or small civillian docks. The water has to be large enough for the ship to enter the docks. If there's any docks present.. If the Lithuanian Navy want to beach their destroyer then that's a different case but who want to beach an expensive valuable destroyer?
Ok, sure, I get that. Another problem is if a limited war is engaged between Germany and Lith., they would have direct land-route access to Latvia, which, according to the image, is not possible.
OMG, do those settings actually imply you could 'hands-off' a game as the US, and limit yourself to the effective control of say 'just' the president or just the war department? Would make for lots of flavorful AARs (got two in my head already!)
And just think of the possibilities for MP games. Finally a deep coop mode.
I have to say Finland looks really misshaped here compared to this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7a/Finnish_areas_ceded_in_1940.png Although I agree Finland is a bit exotic country for Swedish developers.
Anyway nice screens and interesting new scenarios there.

In the 3rd screenshot, it says "we need 12 divisions and 3 (square with dot)"
What is the square with the dot mean? Anyone know?

Square with a dot means artillery brigade.
But that part is likely a placeholder since its been pretty much the same for a very long time, like 3-4 screenshots. (since the first poland screenshot).
You can see all unit symbols and what they mean on the 23st november screenshot, check the "Development Diary Archive" sticky thread
It would be nice if there was a black line border between nations.
It would make the map look better. It also would help on things like the Austria / Yugoslavia problem.

I was just about to write that. The lack of an obvious border between countries at distant zoom is a bit annoying to look at, especially when the coasts have a neat black outline.
