WAD: Germany cannot install puppet regime in Poland

Germany cannot install puppet regime in Poland

With V1.05c

• Playing Germany
• Nazi-Soviet Pact: "No deals with the Bolsheviks!"

Under the above conditions, I was not able to install a puppet regime in Poland when I had occupied 66% of the Polish key points, including Warzawa. When I had occupied all the Polish key points, I was given the option of annexing Poland, but was still not allowed to install a puppet regime in Poland. I was able to install a puppet regime when playing V1.05.

I can see where installing a puppet regime in Poland would "cheat" the Soviets out of their benefits in the Nazi-Soviet pact: Germany would get its provinces, but the Soviet annexation of eastern Poland could not occur because Poland would still exist. In my situation, Germany is conquering Poland without the pact in place, so shouldn't it be able to puppetize or annex, rather than just annex?

Try to capture more provinces and kill more enemy troops.

Thank you for the quick response.

The manual says you must control 2/3 of the "key points" but it looks like that is incorrect. I have done a bit of testing, and it looks like you can puppetize when you have 2/3 of all provinces, though you may also need 2/3 of the key points as well.

I had recently the exact same problem. Poland DoWed me, but I did not want to annex it. I just wanted Danzig, appease and befriend Poland and hold it as buffer against SU.

There is an additional undocumented condition for puppeting: Your army has to be in strength over twice the enemy army. That means you have to senselessly slaughter some enemy troops (or produce more units). I also posted the opinion that their should be less conditions for puppeting than for annexing.

Truchses is correct... Don't use the manual as a reference too much though use the forum
