...and in the end, France survived long enough for SU to annex Germany and create the stalinist DDR, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria and Luxemburg (Workers state of Luxemburg? :rofl: ). Part of liberated France remain Soviet.
Then what happens? Well, turns out the the new states are not at war with the axis, so now France has a free reign in the south, and annexes Nationalist Spain and Italy! The war is then over for a while.
But after about a year USA DoWs the Soviets and the show is on. But the puppet regimes in stalinist europe do not join in - only DDR comes to its master's rescue - which means there is a great buffer of neutral states in Europe. This results in a surprise, where the SU gets thrown out of Europe through a massive land war in greece and bulgaria, with stacks over 100 divisions at times.
As Sweden, having joined the allies, I use my pitiful forces to make some daring landings in northern Prussia and in the dardanelles, with mixed success.
Regrettably, it seems like the ai died in Rumania in 1943 - I left the game handsoff and went to sleep and now the front seems static...'
Unmodded game, although I played as GER in the beginning allying with Argentina and DoWing Brazil, war starting in 1938, Czech resisting partitioning i did not declare war on them, but went for Venezuela instead, which made the US finally remember the Monroe doctrine. When things just got to messy I abandoned it for a more passive role as a neutral SWE, carefully gauging whether joining the allies seemed safe.
This is by far the most dynamic and unexpected CG I have seen so far... great entertainment value!
