Keep with the political updates. I find them as interesting as battles. Good AAR, by the way.
But Reich do not means "Kingdom"?
Their is no good English equivalent for Reich. The best would be Realm. It is often translated to Empire though
Marxist-Leninist Head of Goverment and Social Liberal Spain. Hilarious. :rofl:
Germany is certainly prospering. I am looking forward to seeing what stance you take in Spain. Zentrum are likely to take a pro nationalist stance, perhaps looking for neutrality, whilst the SPD will be pro- republican but again erring towards neutrality in light of the fear of revolutionaries. The communists are going to be furiously trying to offer themselves up as allies to the government to get some support for Spain. Look forward to seeing how things develop.

They don't call it a Popular Front for nothing, eh?
Yugoslavia: One day or another, Yugoslavia will enter the Axis, and unless I´m wrong there is a high chance that the event that makes them abandon the Axis will occur. Taking into account that I am not a nazi Germany and have perfect relations with them, I would say that it would be rpg-wise to use the console in order to bring them back to the alliance via acceptall or by a coup. Do you agree with me?

A pretty accurate analysis, although the SPD has the upper hand there (both because of their electoral majority and because I am the one who will have the ultimate decision :laugh. And thx for commenting, it is really encouraging to listen to the oppinions of readers.
Yes, in almost all DH mods I always get a little angry to see that Rep.Spain is portraited as Social-Liberal or Market Liberal, when it is clear that it should be Social-Democrat or even LWR, specially after the victory of the Frente Popular. But there is nothing I can do there.
I also wanted to have the oppinion of all readers regarding 2 issues:
- Yugoslavia: One day or another, Yugoslavia will enter the Axis, and unless I´m wrong there is a high chance that the event that makes them abandon the Axis will occur. Taking into account that I am not a nazi Germany and have perfect relations with them, I would say that it would be rpg-wise to use the console in order to bring them back to the alliance via acceptall or by a coup. Do you agree with me?
- Czechoslovakia: In my current playthrough (1 year after the last update), there is an 83% chance of Czechoslovakia joining the Axis. I have taken a look into the events files and being allied with them prevents the "Munich Treaty" events to fire, so I am doubtful of what to do. From an rpg perspective, it seems to me more logical than a democratic Germany would allow Czechoslovakia into the Axis with good relations and some sort of agreement regarding the German minoritires in the Sudetenland, but I don´t know if avioding the Munich agreements would totally break the game. I would like your oppinion about this, both from an rpg perspective and from a game perspective from someone who knows for sure if it would or would not break the next years of gaming.
If I were you (and you might do something totally differently within reason), I'd say encourage Czechosolvakia to join the Axis, with the only concession needed for the Sudentenland being reduced border controls (those nationalistic Germans can, you know, move to a more homogenous Germany or just visit family across the border easily if they're less racist). Then, with Yugoslavia, I'd probably suggest that Fascist Italy is actively encouraging (and arming!) Croats and other separatists. Yugoslavia stays (or returns to the Axis) only after Germany forces the monarchist central government to radically democratize by offering armed aid to put down separatists and pointing out that Yugoslavia needs a strong patron to put the fear of bullets into the separatists. Basically, that's the only way I can see a democratic Yugoslavia willing to stand by Germany: some sort devil's bargain that forces the existing order to pretend they're democrats. If you have a decent intelligence service, you might also decide to roleplay a fixed election or two (the coup option) like the good 'ole U.S. of A. did in Greece and Italy right after WWII.
you can try to disable the event that does that?
I think that democratic Germany would be content with Czechoslovakia being in their sphere of influence ( and maybe later alliance - any kind of agreement regarding German minority in Czechoslovakia is not needed since they had full rights in era 1918-1939 ).
Yugoslavia & Czechoslovakia
I second this. I don't see a democratic Germany taking the Sudetenland - Its an act of aggression that i just don't see a democracy doing. Like SomeDude says all Germany will get out of Czechoslovakia it reduced border checks for those areas. You can't have a Romania-Hungary type thing that occurred in WW2 when Romania was forced to give Northern Transylvania to Hungary in order for German protection, because i am sure Czechoslovakia have been playing the Isolationist game for a while and they will be just as happy to keep playing that Isolationist game (even more so if war breaks out)
Again like SomeDude said A democratic Germany would ally with the centralized government (basically the serbs ) but force the King to implement democracy - Of course Italy would be arming the Croats etc. So this could lead to like a mini cold war over Yugoslavia ultimately leading to a German Win there if it all goes well. Also like someDude said you could like RP the Germans "ballot stuffing" in Yugoslavia :rofl: so nationalist parties don't game too many votes and democratic parties who aren't affiliated with just one ethnic group win. Also don't get rid of the king there
I just want to say great AAR! I've just finished reading and will keep my eye on it
I have no idea how to do that, and I fear that if I start modding those files I will probably mess up my game
