The Fate of Netherlands. Another Question.
I have some variants what to do with Netherlands and need your opinion: which variants are historical and realistic, which are not.
first group - without any cheats.
1. Poland annexes Netherlands. All the colonies go to Japan and Siam.
this is an easy variant without any cheats. but I'm sure, that Poland AI will unable to coordinate two separate territories. Add to this lack of transport convoys.
2. Japan demands all the colonies. Netherlands stay independent.
Solid variant, but has a little sense, since Japan already in fact control all the colonies.
3. Japan puppets Netherlands. And gets some few colonies.
Complicated variant, since Dutch East India will be divided, and I would like to keep it intact. Also it seems to me unrealistically from the point of view of Japan.
second group with some cheats or save/loads
4. Poland annexes Netherlands. All the colonies go to Japan and Siam. After that Poland liberates Netherlands.
Good enough, but Netherlands will lose all its army and fleet. It is strange for puppet.
5. Poland puppets Netherlands via cheat. All the colonies go to Japan and Siam.
Netherlands will not lose its army. But it will be hard to manipulate with dutch, since it will be alien puppet.
6. Japan puppets Netherlands via cheat and gets all the colonies.
This variant is my favourite but I'm in great doubt about its realism and gameyness.
Also, Netherlands have a huge amount of resources and money.
So in case of Netherlands exist, they will pay to Japan and Poland contribution.
If Netherlands are annexed, annexing side will pay a half to the other.
Also I think about presenting to Poland one big island in Indonesia, Celebes. It has no resources, but it has a port, an airbase and 1VP. So, Poland become colonial state. Do you think it is realistic?
Waiting for your thoughts.
