Testing TRP 0.71

[unmerged(12895)]

Wotcher.

I haven't played HOI for about 6 months. The lack of a 1.3 patch was a bit disappointing on my return, by the current TRP made up for it. This is the first MOD I've tested, and it seemed to be quite good.

Observations (Italy N/N)
*Puppeted Ethiopa instead of annexing.
*Spain went Stalinist, very easy pickings to consider, especially as Stalinist Spain wasn't in the Comintern, and didn't have independance guarenteed by any power.
*France is reasonably vulnerable to an attack from Italian controlled Spain. If you get in this situation, use it well.
*Joining the Axis is hard.
*Research and construction felt *very* limited. This was a good thing.
*Armour division restrictions worked well, it felt realistic.
*Naval still feels out of whack for me, but, I suspect that's simply because I didn't deploy fleets and Naval bombers correctly.
*I can honestly say I don't like the mini-pictures of units.
*Declaring war on Vichy is a bad idea, as Germany takes them.
*If you don't give Yugoslavia to Germany, they declare War and will destroy you. This feels particularly "realistic". Although next time I'm involved, I suspect I'd try to guard my borders with Germany.

LOL, good AAR

"*France is reasonably vulnerable to an attack from Italian controlled Spain. If you get in this situation, use it well."

Shit I never even though of that one. I need to add that to my TO DO list for Vanilla AI patch 1.3. Thanks

Suggested solution would be to split the force deployment between France's SE Mountain border and the border with Spain. Perhaps 60:40 Italian border:French border? Much like 1940 Historical I found that I relied on Germany to "crack" France before I went in. However, had I been correctly deployed and mobilised, I could have taken immediate advantage.

Nice work. I'll have to compare with other Mods (over a fairly long time) and report back.

First impressions of 1971 as the US

Hi all.

first of all i would like to thank all of the people involved in this project, your efforts are most appreciated and i find your mod to be excellent.

I started playing as the US and here are some remarks:
(I apologize in advance if me notes are already known to you as i haven't read all the threads here)

1. tech tree- There is a mix between the fighter and the escort fighter trees.
2. Trade: I had a small surplus of energy and i got many many trade offers to trade for it. Its quite annoying :wacko:
3. While the US can't build infantry B4 she enters the war- following the same logic , i don't think it should be allowed to build motorized inf, marines etc' .

4. Great choice of events and graphics so far

Cheers
