I'm often flummoxed with the peace conference and generally confused with choosing annexation, vs. puppeting, or reichswhatever, etc.
It's Sep. 4, 1940 and the Allies have capitulated (usual suspects except the US). I'm fascist Germany. Romania and Hungary are satellites, Netherlands and Poland have 30% collaboration, while Free France and Denmark have 9% collaboration, and Yugoslavia (98% compliant) has been annexed. The axis includes Republic of China and so we are at war with Communist China.
Plans include bringing Finland into the axis so I can invade USSR this winter... Go to war with Japan when they DoW one of my subjects in South East Asia; while building up infrastructure in South America and Canada for a DoW against the USA.
Out of the peace conference I know I need access to Western USSR, Indochina and/or the Malaya, East Indies, and a jumping off point in Northern South America. My Chinese allies will feed my garrisons well and I'd also like to retain as many Civ/Mil factory's and dockyards as possible to expand my military while laying the infrastructure needed to invade the USA.
The wiki describes advantages/disadvantages of annexation, vs. puppeting, or reichswhatever - but I'm confused as to what strategy I should be employing. So any advice on initial selection would be welcomed and strategy/timing for transitioning these puppets into actual German owned territory.
In the peace conference, if I puppet the UK or France there are a host of other countries that need liberating or satelliting, puppeting Australia results in only one province becoming a puppet. WTF? Every British Raj choice appears result in a random result. WTF?
