Has anyone else been able to slough off the dead hand of Stanley bloody Baldwin? It's 1941, and he holds Britain in his clammy grip while that benign old duffer King George V toils along, apparently immortal, his wastrel son Edward condemned forever to wait in the wings.

I have nothing to offer this thread other than my admiration for your use of imagery. Well done!

Maybe it has to do with the Irish civil war?:rofl:

AFAIK there are no death events, which means that your beginning HoS and HoG will remain the entire game. It's a fairly major omission.

And with the lack of sliders or really any option to change the way your government is your stuck in all ways..

Troublesome! I hope this is fixed in a future patch. I can't help but think that Winnie's speech on the fall of France might be a spot better than Stanley's, which presumably would end with him donning a tin hat and uttering the inspiring words "we're in for it now, lads."

Great. Can't wait to hear how that's a 'feature' and 'easily moddable'.

It's certainly easily moddable for the time being, but I have now idea how Paradox missed that.

Grim Reaper: This is madness!
King George: Madness? THIS IS ENGLAND! *punts death down the well*

No seriously, George should have died....

You are joking ?? No Churchill ?
Oh come on Paradox !!

Hey, what the heck, I leave some fighers in NY in case King Kong shows up!

The OP certainly has a way with words!

WWII is not WWII (at least for the western allies) without Sir Winston's guiding hand. Don't at least the democracies have elections? That, of course, would change people like the pres. of the U.S. and the U.K.'s p.m. I haven't gotten to an election (as the U.S.) yet. I'm still in early '36 and trying to figure out how this thing (game) works.

Hell why not? Considering how much effort has gone into making this an ahistorical game King Kong would be fine--I want Godzilla in Tokyo too though.

Now I see why PI didn't want us to be able to view other countries' ministers...
Yes, let's hope it's in a patch. Can't be all too difficult to add an event swapping kings and PMs. And Neville of course! We must have Neville!

For my election in 1940, the people overwhelmingly returned Baldwin. He's so stolid and reassuring! The man in the street just wants to hear how the bomber's always going to get through, he cares not a sixpence for Churchill, or even genial old Neville "Big Girl's Blouse" Chamberlain and his neatly furled brolly. Universal sufferage has ruined the country.

And Neville of course! We must have Neville!

Indeed. The old Munich fire sale seems sadly lacking without him hanging about.
