Well, I believe that as long as it is my puppet and produces forces for me, a state can be free except for strategic lands.
This principle applies since I saw, in my other AAR, that owning the whole world is just non-sense.

SPOILER: Spain is my best puppet-ally/colony

Hi guys, I am sorry to have not posted any updates - I was in the country and the internet was pretty bad, Tinypic was not loading and so I could not do anything but answering. I did another step in the game, but I will not proceed as long as I will have to update here ;)

17 Dec 1945: with the objectives in Europe fulfilled, such as Lugano, North-East, Dalmatia and the control of Gibraltar, it was time to focus on expanding into Africa.
On that day, war was declared to claim back what was belonged (and well, there is plenty of oil despite the game does not know it): Libya.
At the moment, Tripoli was alone as the Ottoman Empire fell under the revolution consequenting the defeat against the Arab axis while in Europe there was the Franco - German war.

Three landing corps of 7 divisions were prepared (7 was the maximum allowed as I reached the maximum doctrine at the time): one for Tripoli, one for Benghazi and one for Tobruk, which were the main objectives in order to declare mission accomplished)

19 Dec. 1945

The first corp to land was the one assigned to Tripoli

While Benghazi was incredibily found free of enemy presence, in Tobruk there was a trap: after the landing, our army was immediately attacked

After the landing was complete, however, the Libyans immediately surrended

26 Dec. 1945

After a week of fighting, Tripoli was secured, but the Libyans - a lot of them veterans of 1911 - opposed a great resistance

It was however useless - the first colonial step was a success for Italy

Extremo anno (I forgot it last time!)

Initio anno

21 Feb. 1946

After 3 months of direct administration, it was to decide what to do with the new conquest - the lessons of history were learnt: it was better to establish a local administration, under Italian control, with tasks of police, rather than direct integration. It was the birth of the Italian North Africa

12 March 1946

The peace traty signed with Austria two years ago expired - this led to new scenarios

23 April 1946

The alliance with the German Empire was not renewed - with the expansionist aims, German help was not only useless, but also a risky "we give blood, they take"

A new bloc - the Mediterranean co-prosperity sphere - was born, instead

17 May 1946

The first step for a revenge of what happened nearly 30 years ago was taken - war against Austria, now with the aim of marching on Vienna and Prague

The first step was to cross the Alps

Of course it is! There's metal in it. And Carthago needs to be roman again!

Then depends on what you decided, the ottomans and Egypt could be nice, creating the arab federation and getting Suez would be cool, as getting back Constantinople!

Problem: Suez is German. I do not think to be able to stand against Germany.

Guys, I am so sorry to tell you that my PC broke, so I can't update it for now. (Writing it from nexus 5)

No, just a hinge of the laptop got broken suddendly. Until yesterday I was able to use it, but then it "exploded" so I was forced to take it to the repair shop. Just think that only on the day before I saw CL, Juve vs Bayern...
The guy told me that it was an easy repair but he did not have the piece, so he must order it... This will require 2 weeks maximum, he said.

So no, the savegame should not be touched, just like a lot of other things of university and other random stuff
