You could try a what if with a war with the Soviets just to see who will join you in your crusade for worldwide Socialdemocratism 
The realm rejoices as Paradox Interactive announces the launch of Crusader Kings III, the latest entry in the publisher’s grand strategy role-playing game franchise. Advisors may now jockey for positions of influence and adversaries should save their schemes for another day, because on this day Crusader Kings III can be purchased on Steam, the Paradox Store, and other major online retailers.
I like this one even more!Thanks! I was bored, so i started playing around and made another, just cause.

Well...actually...You could try a what if with a war with the Soviets just to see who will join you in your crusade for worldwide Socialdemocratism![]()
Heresy!It would be a worldwide crusade for Market Liberalism![]()
Blame the Swedish electorate, not meHeresy!![]()
Japan is in an...interesting situation. They actually expand in Siberia, despite the Sovs being free to focus on them. As for the IJN and the United States...well...let's just say I'm not the only one doing interesting invasions in this game.Just caught up again with the last several updates. Good job taking down Germany, and I like what you did with the French and Yugoslav territories. Hopefully they won't need another war to settle things there in this timeline. Although knowing the Balkans, you can never be sure of that.
I wonder what Japan is going to do now. Since the Red Army has no more fighting to do in Europe (for the moment) I can see those 1500 brigades of their pouring into Manchukuo and Korea. But someone would still have to crack the Imperial Navy, probably a job for the USA. Or did I miss a surrender in all the exitement of taking over Europe?
In that case I shall await the "What the hell is going on in the Pacific" update!Japan is in an...interesting situation. They actually expand in Siberia, despite the Sovs being free to focus on them. As for the IJN and the United States...well...let's just say I'm not the only one doing interesting invasions in this game.![]()

Possible, but Indonesia revolting or not (its a very small area they control), one would think the Dutch East Indies would have provided enough fuel, especially since the Japanese haven't really had much need to use their fleet until now. Then again, who knows.I would guess the IJN has been seriously starved of fuel which might account for how it hasn't apparently engaged the USN much at all. It looks like the game is trying its best to wrap things up for you - but how about a UN intervention in Italy? The war they're fighting with the British is because of their invasion of Greece isn't it?
Near as I can tell, most of the British Army is holding around Benghazi in a staring contest with Italian forces. No idea if that's the majority of their army or not though.The British need more divisions in Italy, are they all in Britain and India right now?
As it turned out, WW3 never kicked off so the points redundantIf the war(s) continue - and ESPECIALLY if WW3 sparks - you must end date mod and intervene. It's really, really easy: go to the {HOI3 Directory}/common/ folder, open defines.lua, and change end_date = '1948.1.1' to whatever you like (I prefer the 70's but that's just me). If you have tfh/ installed, go to {HOI3 Directory}/tfh/common/ and do the same thing.
I'm impressed with Operation Downfall! It can be hard to pull off without replicating this historical island hopping in OTL.
When you first alluded to weird invasions in the Pacific Theater I had the off whim hope that Japan had invaded the West Coast, but now, I can fully understand what you meant. Maybe someone thought it would be a great idea to keep all those pretty ships from actually doing what they were built to do...Skywalker_T-65 said:So I have no clue where the IJN is.
Main reason I'm leery of releasing them as Sov puppets is because I don't want communist governments.Yes, I'd steer you to http://www.hoi3wiki.com/Adding_Countries. But it would probably be easier to start the game as the Soviets, release all the puppets, and save the game, IF you don't mind them all being puppets of the Soviets (you'll still have to make Russia via the above). If you want independence and no puppets or members of Comintern, you'll have to savegame edit. It's been a while since I looked at an HOI3 savegame, but as I recall the Factions are towards the top of the file, just delete the ones you don't want. Diplomatic relations will probably have to be searched (they'll be something like:
puppet = {
first = SOV
second = BEL
}
or similar.
OR, if you want a modern day mod, just get YAMDAM, mod for HOI3.
It would have been about the same 'what the heck just happened?' level if Japan had reversed what the US ended up doingWhen you first alluded to weird invasions in the Pacific Theater I had the off whim hope that Japan had invaded the West Coast, but now, I can fully understand what you meant. Maybe someone thought it would be a great idea to keep all those pretty ships from actually doing what they were built to do...
