"Support our party"

Lies! iv done it like 11 months early before

You still end up with less leadership points in those 11 months than if you spent them on something else.

Not to mention if you do an early aggressive Germany like I do, having to do re-occupation of the Reinland is not a good thing. As of now the event is pointless unless you really somehow need Austria in a tad early.

..agressive means something about your threat level, and that has impact on amount of hostile spy's in your country? And worsening your chances of diplomacy? That will cost you too..

yeah but what I am saying is don't need too add to my problems with reoccupation of the Reinland.

So the reason re-occupying Rheinland doesn't make Anschluss much faster for you is, that you are grabbing other countries before? ..fair enough..

If it goes to current form, it means that whenever Germany goes for France, it's facing American Expeditionary forces. Last time round, the Allies (as a whole) declared on the Axis (as a whole) before the sausage-eaters even invaded France (I'd guess the AI was waiting for extra forces to be built to replace the ones left to guard the Czech border. They'd puppetted Poland, and left Czechoslovakia alone, which caused some confusion when the Czechs joined the Alliance 2 weeks into the assault on Northern France...

Even without influencing I've never had america join the allies before '41... Not even close.

So far I've played to '40ish three times as Italy, and the '39 scenario til the fall of France as Germany a couple of times. In every game the Yanks have been in the Allies before Poland fell (including the second go at Blitzkrieg when Warsaw fell in 16 days) and I've faced Brit and US expeditions in France. This last game, I was influencing USA to the Axis from as soon as I could, and I rushed quite undecorously into the arms of my welcoming brothers-in-Fascism.

The problem seems to be that every nation in the world starts aligning itself towards Allies at some point, and that Britain's return from their "Influence" action on a nation is greater than Italy's (I wasn't bothering with Germany, I figured I'd win anyway if I kept at it). Current game, it's summer '39, Germany has neglected to Anschluss or annex the Sudetenland, and puppetted Poland after beating her, and nearly every country in the world is in the Allies. The only one that seems to be remaining neutral is Bulgaria. I'm so glad I built a second corps of Alpini, guessing that Switzerland would be drawn into the Allies at some point, because they're in, already. At least it happened while there are still some Allied nations left on mainland Europe...

Perhaps I should stop doing so well and scaring the world...

Although the party system takes up a good chunk of interface real estate, it is surprisingly pointless.

:rofl:

Even in the 1339 scenario??? How long did it take you to beat Poland?

11 months early to what?
Actually the political crisis can happen from 1938 on a monthly basis (mean_time_to_happen months = 1, even less later on but ending in 1939), and the Anschluss decision can't be activated before march 1938, so there shouldn't be any problem if you are not especially unlucky... You only really need spies if the event never happens which is unlikely.

My experience is that all enemy nations will try spying on the most threatening (to them)..So doing an early agressive germany means lots of enemy spies...
