What gives?

Check if :
#1 you got money surplus, if not try to build more supply and sell it (if #2 ok)
#2 you got free convoy, if not build more or free some

As Germany or Japan, I'll put max spies in the USA and run Support Our Party. Last night, Roosevelt was out of office in '36 (MacArthur was president) and I expect a fascist state by 1940. They're still likely to go Allied, but if you start influencing them, too, you can really keep them in the middle of the triangle.

- support our party : use this to increase organisation of the party "like yours". use this to trigger some event (anschluss), to decrease NU (broken gov), to increase align speed and to counter other spies support party missions
-support ruling : use this to increase organisation of the leading party. use this to increase NU of a ally and to counter other spies support party missions.
-counter-espionage : kill ALL spies that not yours. use this to counter counter-espionage, best to set this mission first when you reach 10 spies.
-naval/land/air intel : slowly discover random location of enemy naval/land/air units
-increase threat : increase the threat of the nation for all other nations. use this to decrease your neutrality, decrease other nations neutrality, decrease/increase faction align speed, trigger some event
-cover ops : use this to get points to start some cover ops mission as coup or partisan uprising

Let's not forget tech espionage! Which as of TFH lets you steal techs if your levels are behind (but they have to be a lot behind for this to be worth doing)

Playing as Finland, won Winter War and I'm in Axis. Relations with Germany 90.

Problem is that no one is willing to sell me metal. My stockpile is a few days short of empty and whether manually or automatically no one even those with surplus are willing to sell me. No one wants to buy anything either. What gives?

Just curious, if you won the winter war... did you conquer SU?

But most likely cause is as another poster mentioned you're out of convoys. Starting as a minor you only have a handful, if a handful got sunk (or are off trading)... you might be stuck. Except for land neighbors (Sweden should have metal, right?).

I won the Winter War by not losing any land, I deprived the Soviets from achieving any of their goals.

As for trade, convoys did the trick. There were some further issues with losing money even though the interface said I'm making a net gain, but I googled it and found out that the debt system is broken in this game.

If you as Germany, say Guaranteed the USSR, and then Barbarrossaed would you be at war with yourself?

I believe, you cannot declare war on a country you Guaranteed.

Never figured this game out but I love history and the combat stuff so firing it up again to give another go. First issue...In production screen (set to Normal) my items keep going into the red. However, this is NOT due to an increase in needs, it's just changing randomly. Example: Reinforcement, Need 3.44. So I set manually to 3.45 and lock the slider. I hit resume play and boom, seconds later the 3.45 I just set now reads 0.00 and is in the red as the Need is still at 3.44.

I'm guessing I have something toggled somewhere else that is affecting this but no idea what. Any suggestions?

PS: Upgrades is doing this also...BUT is drops from 44.96 to 44.75, not 0.00. Very screwy.

Just below your IC in the production screen, you can set priorities, which allows the AI to take over delegating IC to the various sliders. You have probably set in on something other than manual.

 

[ragincajun]

Says Manual Control. And Normal.

Another question: I put a Transport ship into my production queue. Move production to 2.00. The convoy bar is red showing no progress taking place, even with production IC allocated.

 

[misterbean]

Very strange. Can you post a screenshot of the production tab?

 

[ragincajun]

I will, but quick thought...are there a max number of convoys you can have? I currently have 23 showing available transports/escorts (haven't opened escorts yet however in Technology).

 

[misterbean]

No, you can build as many as you want.

 

[ragincajun]

So you can see I've added a Transport convoy to the production screen. I've adjusted my IC to have 2.00 in production to cover this. However, the convoy bar is red. When I mouse over that, it says "There is no current progress at all on this project." And yes, I have advanced forward 2 days since queuing up the convoy.

 

[ragincajun]

Hmm, well maybe 2 days wasn't enough. I'm about a week in and it started working. Haven't changed anything else. Strange because everything else appears to change in 1-2 days.

IC has to come from somewhere. If ALL of your sliders are locked, then you cannot switch IC to reinforcements, because it is locked in somewhere else.

Why are you not supposed to puppet major powers (and what you should do instead with them ?)

 

[ThatStrategyGuy]

Well, the reasons I've heard is that it can break the AI a little (depending on when you do it) but mostly because as a human player to can put all their resources to much better use

 

[BaronNoir]

But what I do with Japan, say ? I put garrison units with MP ?

Yes.
