[QUOTE=LoganIsAwesome;46267945]I don't like pestering you guys[/QUOTE] I literally have an [URL="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/43cqme66sjeuog0/AAC_xDFYz7yFqm9k-2FjozxIa/world%20maps?dl=0"]archive of maps[/URL] which are painstakingly accurate. Just use one of those comrade.
[QUOTE=Karishnikova;46266108]Franco hit his head and did a 180 I'm confused as to why my military is so weak though. The Spanish Army was built up during WWII in case it was needed for domestic defense and was supplied by the Germans...[/QUOTE] It might have something to do with you're invading France through a mountain range.
Can I play as North Korea?
[QUOTE=iAmaNewb;46268478]Can I play as North Korea?[/QUOTE] At this point in time its just occupied territory I'm currently making a wikipedia infobox for the War of the Pyrenees going on with Spain and France
[QUOTE=ImperialGuard;46268455]It might have something to do with you're invading France through a mountain range.[/QUOTE] Who I'm invading, how I'm invading them, or through what channel/geographical locale I'm invading them in, does not affect the total operational capacity or strength of my military, only the effectiveness it has in that particular scenario. I didn't ask why progress was slow. I asked why my military was classified as "weak". Especially considering France's is "strong" when they've only been restored for a year or so and haven't had time to rebuild their country, let alone their military.

Why is Ethiopia listed as an ally of France in this war? They're uninvolved.
[QUOTE=Karishnikova;46268887]Why is Ethiopia listed as an ally of France in this war? They're uninvolved.[/QUOTE] Not for long Also Seed gave me some stuff I can fix so I'm going to do that and I'll post v2 soon
[QUOTE=Griffster26;46268911]Not for long[/QUOTE] Hahaha Oh god I can't wait to see what kind of pathetic shit Ethiopia will throw at me in the name of helping France. This'll definitely be good.

You should put UK in the french side of the box considering they are trying to invade Gibraltar.

Spain gun get fucked

[QUOTE='[Seed Eater];46266523']Map issues: 1) What exactly is the huge green nation in east China? If that's supposed to be East Turkestan it's excessively large and not representative of reality. 2) Battlelines of Chinese civil war unrealistic and plain out incorrect 3) Territory of Tibet not accurate as far as I know 4) Gibraltar not the right color 5) Belgian congo's region borders are fucked up 6) North Yemen is independent during this period 7) Oman is independent during this time 8) Kuwait is nominally independent at this time, and it would be more accurate to consider it British rather than Iraq 9) Greek civil war? 10) Lower tip of Sweden is wrong color 11) Most of Europe and Africa doesn't have the weird water gradient thing 12) The border of North and South Korea as they are in the map are not established until after the war, at this time it's split straight at the parallel 13) Philippines became independent in 1946 14) Japan is nominally self-governing after the war, it's inaccurate to have it American-controlled while also having a single Germany not under allied control 15) Papau New Guinea is Australian controlled, not British 16) New Caledonia is French, not British 17) So did South Africa invade Portugese Africa or what? 18) Jordan was independent in 1946 19) North Vietnam exists at this point 20) West Papaue still controlled by Netherlands at this point 21) East Timor still Portuguese 22) Hong Kong, Macao, Goa? 23) Are these just no Ryukyus? 24) I'm pretty sure America never controlled half of the Bahamas didn't base it off of my maps 0/10[/QUOTE] 25) A Czechoslovakian province is owned by Hungary.
Also fun fact, everyone in that infobox is a real person except Narcisse Braune.
USSR is attacking Spain? What
I'm here for the inevitable shit storm.
Way USSR explained it to me was that he was going to send arms and paratroopers.
i think this may make me a belligerent on France's side because I'm allied with the UK and sworn to protect them
[QUOTE=Native Hunter;46270180]i think this may make me a belligerent on France's side because I'm allied with the UK and sworn to protect them[/QUOTE] I'm sorry I'm just not going to bother with trying to edit it again because it's already fuckhueg
Spain, youre better off suing for peace, at any price

So, let's see. Telepethi is going to get knocked out of two RPs in like, a week. Is that a record?
Telepethi I just gave you a fucking list of everyone (except South Africa, cba to put them in) who is going to fuck you up I suggest you sue for peace.
[QUOTE=Griffster26;46270349]Telepethi I just gave you a fucking list of everyone (except South Africa, cba to put them in) who is going to fuck you up I suggest you sue for peace.[/QUOTE] Yeah there's 0% chance of that happening and -100% chance of me being at all frightened of South Africa, Ethiopia, French Morocco, West Germany, or Belgium. I have a fuckload of Russian guns, tanks, and planes and tons of soldiers to fight. Even if I don't win I'm just going to wreck France and Britain's (if he even gets involved) economies and industrial complexes more. [editline]18th October 2014[/editline] Also I JUST noticed like every map we've ever used for this games has been wrong about Gibraltar. British held Gibraltar is like a 2.3 square mile piece of land on a peninsula nowhere near (relatively speaking) the Strait of Gibraltar The land that's colored on the map for Britain isn't Gibraltar. It's like half of Cadiz and half of Malaga.
You've been forced into a stalemate in south France, hardly having taken a handful of provinces after a surprise attack on a rather unprotected flank. The entirety of the French military, which, at worst, is about on par with yours is now bearing down on you. You now also have attacks coming in from your southern flank, two moderate powers (Belgium and West Germany) and two African nations coming to fight you. In addition, you've dragged the UK who is still a huge military power into war against you, as well as the United States who, if you're lucky, will just fund your enemies out the ass like they did the Russians to win the eastern front. And that's just hoping they don't outright invade you, which they most likely will. On top of that, Russia will most likely invade you next turn judging by the infobox. This isn't even accounting for your domestic situation. Dude, just surrender, there is literally no hope for you to have any effect besides further ending fascism in Europe.
Did you not read the turn? [quote]France has responded aggressively, but its lacking army cannot make much of an impact on Spain. However, the French army lacks capable equipment to put up a strong defensive. It holds for now, but will prove a problem later.[/quote] This is not a "forced stalemate" it's a poor defense about to crumble against a superior force. Also, the African nations are a fucking joke. Do they even have adequate transport ships to get to me? Even if they do, they don't have an escort navy to defend them. They'd be sunk by coastal defenses or my own fleet before they're able to land.
Hitler underestimated his enemies and look where he ended up: [video=youtube;QLmnTOQ2YpM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLmnTOQ2YpM[/video]
