puppet vs annex?

[unmerged(26982)]

I feel your pain. I've had the same problem.

I think we all have. Except those times when WE are the nation forced onto that one damn island to sit out the war...

*looks at everyone staring*

Not that that has happened to me, or anything... I swear officer...

Puppeting is good. Once I took over the islands of Britain and pupetted them! Then their navy annihilated the stupid US navy.
It was awesome.

The people on here are wrong about the number of resources you get. They're confusing it with IC potential.

You get 33% from a annexed nation.
Vs.
You obviously get no IC from a puppet, but this can work out for the best.

You get 50% resources from a annexed nation, and 40% from a conquered one.
Vs.
I believe you only get the over supply of resources from your puppet. I did not notice a dramatic increase in oil production until I not only puppeted Saudi Arabia, but also took Baku from the Soviets. I know that Romania produces 87 Oil and Saudi Arabia produces 35. Yet I'm only netting 80.7 oil from my puppets (I puppeted both countries.) That's still better than 87+35 = 122/2 = 61 Oil. But only by 20 points. Still, 20 points is enough for 5 extra mech inf. So do as you will!

I made a puppet of Soviet yesterday. Had been at war with them for years and I felt it would had taken a long time to mop up. Anyway, so late in the game I felt it doesn't matter; I now got a huge number of victory points for my gray bunch and the reds only got 1 or two. Making a puppet simply saved time, even if it had been cool to annex. Cool but pointless at this stage.

Just starting to divide a part of my land units into 4-5 task forces to invade as much as possible from the blue guys before the game ends. Funny thing, I could invade Norway very very quickly by attacking from one extra direction: land connection in the outmost north (next to Murmansk).

It is an interesting task, to re-arrange the huge groups of armies used on the eastern front to a number of more or less specialiced assault task forces on multiple fronts. Attacking 3-4 new separate theaters at the same time is no big deal at all when I don't have eastern front to worry about. Now I got use of every transport I have.

I never pay attention. Thats why I always have no problem with these 'issues'. Need more? Slow down production or INVADE!!!

I know. I haven't given up yet on my dream to annex yet. Axis = 585 points, Russia = 15, Allies?

Maybe we must get stronger coffe? I must admit it would be very satisfying to annex them, but the hours used and late evenings... argh.

Hm. Maybe a two front attack on the reds? Give them their own medicine (chuckling madly). Never tried German forces from the east on Russia. That would be a logistical challange! Well, maybe I will try to ship some Hungarian cav... Hm. Nah, coffe is the answer.

I'm at work at present. I get home at 730 am. I play HoI to relax before bed. A couple of hours a day.
