But in the 1936 campaign it doesn't come about. Also, do you not like communists or did you just choose that name, I've always wondered.

In 5.0, Euskadi will be released as a Republican ally during the Civil War.

Catalonia WILL NOT be featured during the usual Spanish Civil War, as she was not entirely independent during the war (and obviously not at all afterwards).

Catalonia is being added for an alternate Spanish Civil War if the National Front wins (as opposed to the Popular Front).

And I desperately need. Catalan ministers, techteams, sliders, and leaders for different types of government would be very, very helpful.

And historical Orders of Battle (for the Nationalists, Republicans, etc) would help even more!

OK, now i get it. The alternate Spanish Civil War idea sounds really cool. I guess then the Nationalists release the republicans then.

Eh... not exactly. The Catalans realize they'll never gain independence from the fascist Central Government of Gil-Robles, so they take the initiative and declare independence. The Central Government does nothing right away, so the Basques declare the Republic of Euskadi. That is when the Central Government decides it cannot let the Spanish State further disintergrate, so they move to rebuild Spain by force.

And Jack, please. In the time it took you to post those two pieces of spam, you could have located the answer.

The new Spanish civil war idea looks really cool but will the catalans/basques have a chance for independence because I would think it would be quite easy to beat them.

Right now it's set up to look like the historical post-war scenario. So if the US reached Warsaw, it would still be a Soviet puppet. Not to worry though, this will be changed so that Eastern Europe can possibly be democracies of the Western Allies reach them first.

Hopefully with better borders: Polands shift to the west only came about because Stalin could draw any borders he wanted, and he decided to compensate the Poles with the loss of their eastern provinces with German lands.
An allied victory would likely have restored Poland to its 1939 borders, possibly with some minor gains in the south, and not draw Poland over Germany so that Russia can have Lviv.

Not exactely-Polish state demanded territorial changes since the outbreak of war.
n allied victory would likely have restored Poland to its 1939 borders,
Polish leaders demanded rest of Polish inhabited Upper Silesia, corrections near Poznań, and of course East Prussia would be part of Poland also(as proposed by McKinder after WWI aslo after WWI btw). These were the historical demands of Polish Government in Exile. In game terms it means the Elbing, Konigsberg and Oppeln provinces. I think it was even in Core 0.9 for HoI.

As to East it depends-Lvov and Wilno would remain in Poland in such victory but as for the rest ? Creation of Ukrainian state could be a possibility if enough land is outside of Soviet influence.

Iraq Revolt Problem

Hello,

Playing as UK with SMEP 4.5.

I had the Iraq Revolt event, then chose to crush the revolt. However, sometihng odd happened. Iraq left my alliance and only has Baghdad as territory, which is as it should be. However, Iraqi troops were not moving into the rest of the country (now British-controlled), and I could not attack Baghdad.

I checked the diplomacy screen, and realized I wasn't at war with Iraq. I also saw that Iraq was still an ally in my war against Japan! (Japan declared on me early, in Feb. 41).

I'm guessing that the fact that the revolt events took Iraq out of my alliance against Germany, but not against Japan, so there's some sort of paradox where there's a rump Iraq that will not attack me, I can't attack it...

I guess I'll just mod the save either to get Iraq back in the Allies entirely, or else trigger the war for real.

But figured this might be an event that needs modding in case of an EARLY UK-Japan war (though admittedly a very rare thing this early).
