Neutrals in a WW2 scenario

[Boco]

Is Finland going to be in this scenario?

Unfortunately not... The scen plays mainly in Europe.

This is begging for an Ottok post!

OK,OK, my mistake. Finland belongs of course to Europe. But unfortunately it is not included in the used map. Sorry. Only the very southern part of the scandinavian countries.

Here you can see the map of the "Blitzkrieg" Scen with the southern part of Scandinavia. Sorry, no Finland.

Unfortunately not. Scandinavia is only represented by Denmark (3 cities), Norway (about 4 cities) and Sweden (about 3 cities). The scen plays mainly in Europe. Maybe I can post a map this evening.

damn!

Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Sweden and Turkey and Ireland on the same side?

Wouldn't it be interesting if they would potentially have a chance to get allied along with the Axis?

The scenario sounds promising, so keep it up.

Avtually, you SHOULD give Poland and he other countries offensive units, but make them obsolete. In 1939 Poland had one of the largest armies in Europe and was, accordingly feared by all of the other nations in Europe.
The Germans even constructed a plan in case of a Polish counet-offensive, and the Polish themselves boasted that they could do so in the first days of the war, until the army was trapped and miserably massacred in the Visla curve.
Yugoslavia also had an army, althought an antiquated and traitor-filled one.
The armies of the Scandianvian states were smaller and badly equipped.
On the other hand, the Belgians fought bravely with their petty Renault tanks and one major fortress.
You should give the Poles a Kulan unit(the famed Polish cavalry[grins slyly]), some fighet planes positioned along the border in airfields and some motorized infantry.
The greeks shouls get some partisan and british units and the Yugoslavs infantry, a few cannnons and a warship or two.

The Belgians should be in, but unfortunately, the one major fortress was captured by a few hundred German fallshirm-jägers and didn't do much.
We did however manage to hold out 18 days if I'm correct ...

Well, the neutrals (Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Ireland) will not have any offensive units. In all cities, strongpoints are situated so that a conquest of these cities is really hard. On the other hand, countries which will be very quick overrun by the germans as (Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Poland, Yugoslavia and Greece) will have in the beginning strong defense units in their cities and only one infantry for smaller counter attacks.

And the reason for this is very simple. As I only want to have one unit file, I have to save units. The main actors are Germany, US/GB, France, Italy, Russia of course and Axispartner (Romania/Hungary) and I do not have so many units to equipe the others well. But I think they will be overrun in about 4-5 turns
