Even then it's not a certainty.

Is it the only such event? Is there a master list of events?

Could Soviet invasion of Poland be somehow scipted in? In my last game the Germans were too busy with France and the Poland survived, which seemed rather strange, seeing the German war machine.

Hi Dale. Wonderful scenario, which I don't know for the others but I waited couple of years.
I'looking forward for the add-ons.

One qustion: Is there a full list of the exact dates with the events (like war and alliances) or I have to play the game and mark them smwhere?

i will be happy to see an option where you can fix the allies in the beginning (Axis & Allies) and then play with no events.

Thanks again

That's what I was hoping for.

Does West Balken go to war when Greece should or when Yugoslavia should?

Yes, it's the only such event based on city ownership. I can make a full event list if people want and post it here.

I'm working on USSR's invasion of Poland. As it is now, the only problem is USSR will end up at war with UK/France. But I think I've gotten a way to get around it.

Thanks for the comments.

Fixing the Axis and Allies at start with no events will probably not work too well. Most nations didn't enter the war till after the start, but having the alliances in place at start will cause all of them to go to war straight away. EG: USA would enter the war Sept 39.

Also, doing it this way would severely tip the scales in the Allies favour.

When Germany attacked Yugo/Greece, not when Italy attacked Greece.

If there are more conditional events, it would be most appreciated. Though it may be considered cheating. But it was rather schocking to suddenly lose as France, even though I was expecting Vichy in some form.

I'm going to post an AI Autoplay AAR for Europe 1936 in 50 turns increments.

This is using all the changes for Add-On Pack 1 (which I'll post a beta of shortly).

AI Autoplay = ALL nations controlled by the AI. I do not participate.

50 turns: Building up Germany



50 turns: Germany tech tree



50 turns: Spring approaching



100 turns: Poland eaten on both sides



100 turns: German tech tree



100 turns: The Western Front



150 turns: Western Front



150 turns: Eastern Front



150 turns: German science



150 turns: Score Card



200 turns: Eastern Front North



200 turns: Tigers on the Prowl



200 turns: Egypt



200 turns: German Tech Tree



200 turns: German losses to take over Europe

[ptzvetan]

Russia looks totaly devastated at turn 200.
Obviously the Germans are paying more attention to the eastern front

P.S. What's the difficulty level (if there is such) for the German AI?

[Runner]

I can attest to the fact that the Soviet Union would have collapsed in my current game. If I wasn't playing them, the Germans would have annihilated them.

I'm having an incredibly difficult time with war weariness btw. I have no less than 27 unhappiness generated due to it in my capital. I have to spend 80% of my treasury producing culture in order to have any semblance of industrial production. Correct me if I'm wrong, but neither axis nor allied war production suffered very much due to people refusing to work during the second world war... factory bombing sure, but not worker revolt. The fact that we're dealing with months here, 2 turns per, indicates to me that it should be toned down A LOT.

Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm in the winter of 1942, it will only get worse from here.

Add-on pack 1 beta is uploading now.

It'll take a while, it's 400 meg.

[freebird]

[ptzvetan]

Is there describtion of the changes?

will you please publish the event list, like Axis is formed on july 1940 for exmp.
