As long as the supply areas connect (with convoys and railways) and have separate industry supply limits, that should work fine. But aggregating them into connected "super-areas" would not be too complex, and would save on the number of supply limit pools you'd need to track (at the cost of generating new ones when territory conquest cut areas off - but recalcs when territory changes hands is basically unavoidable, anyway).
So... Tankograd is Chelyabinsk city in the Urals. Obviously, we will get military factories there. The second focus is most likely about the reforms of the 1930s in the Red Army.
No, it's obviously hinting at an upcoming army designer.
I presume it will be three part, 2 parts on the focus trees, 1 part on Soviet specific mechanics.
I doubt it. Even Spain, with its massive tree, was pretty thoroughly wrapped up two diaries. I'm thinking it'll be two to three, with one being based on the historical and other communist paths, and the other being the more outlandish alt history, with whatever remains being in the final diary.
Given that the forum will go apeshit about any alt-history they do, they will probably elaborate long and wide why this and that, maybe also the reason they delay the reveal so they can really dig into sources and look at it anew after their holiday.
The forum will only go apeshit if Paradox manages to make wacky stuff like Polish nukes, or ignoring Polish minorities in favor of "peasants (tm)". I don't remember a form fallout over Mexican focus tree, or even Axis minors.
The fallout was over the existence of such a tree, rather than its contents.
I think the lack of outrage over the alt-history was in that not many people are that familiar with Mexican history, especially of 1930s/1940s.
I personally never got why people get so angry. If you don't like alt history, then fine. Personally I find some paths too whacky as well (especially anarchists and now fascist byzantium). But then just don't play them.
Honestly I like playing historical maybe 2 times, 3 times if its especially interesting, but then? Alt-history even the whacky shit (although that is a discussion on itself) makes the replay-ability much higher if I compare it with other games.
In keeping with the alt-history approach of HoI4, I predict Tankograd will be a city-sized tank housing tens of thousands of people. It is powered by the Nuclear Reactor in its innermost chambers, has the firepower of half the Soviet Union tank fleet, gives the state it resides in Level 1 heavy AA protection, acts as a victory point all of its own, and houses a dozen factories.

Yeah it would be funny that wouldn't it?Oh, it's so cute that you think they are not reading the forum right now.
