Myself, I like it the way it is. But I do think the Russian units aren't as red as they could be. :mad:

Your right, the allies would have to conquer Spain, in lets say 3 turns, otherwise the it should have no effect on the axis minors. If the allies don't conquer Spain in 6 turns, then the axis minors join automatically, and with no effect on war readiness. Something similar could be worked out for Turkey. Sorry for not realizing that the Allies never sacked Spain. Then it is, I believe, a serious flaw.

With Turkey it could also go either way. An attack on Turkey, also seen as more powerful than the LC or Ireland could scare the axis minors into not joining. On the other hand, an invasion so close to home (Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary) may force the axis minors to join in fear that they may be next. (Spain isn't a next door neighbor) So either way, the axis minors are going to be affected. They way they are affected is determined by the programmer and what they feel may best represent history and/or be best for the play balance of the game. But there can be made a case to support either effect.

With the LC gambit it was almost expected that France was going to do that in real life. With Spain, in regards to the difference to Ireland, Spain is on the continent. Also, the Allies sacking of Ireland and/or LC would not have been as impresive as the sacking of Spain. If Ireland and/or the LC countries get overrun by the allies, oh well. If Spain does it may be enough to raise the eyebrows of some, if not all, of the axis minors. Finland on the other hand had recently fought a war with the USSR and wanted revenge. They should join no matter what happens (as long as germany is at war with the USSR). As for Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary I don't have an expalnation as to why only Bulgaria would join.

LOL so hard Im in tears.

I am American (not that it should make any difference). And thank you expessing the feeling of so many people on the subject of comrade EB. Without the Common Wealth holding out and forcing the issue in Greece and Africa the German Juggernaut would of been able to turn their entire army east. The war would of been very different. The soviet union was close to total collapse. What difference would a few more German divisions have made? As for the mass migration from east to west after the war and the economic policies instilled in the democratic nations of Europe, I think the results speak for themselves. 50 years of the same trend is not a fluke, its reality, and if you think otherwise just look at how many precious communist nations remain. I am sorry comrade, but the great experiment that was communism failed. While great in theory, its been proven that humans are not insects and that the hive mentality stiffles the imagination as well as technological advancement. The superior equipment of the former Soviet union did well in th gulf war against the combined forces of the western allies didn't it? I'm sorry, I am starting to ramble. Some of EB's posts have made me somewhat defensive. It does feel good to let it out a little though. That said I do find it ammusing to read EB's posts and hope he continues to write them. Its fun to see such a radically different perspective on things.

Units also reflect readiness, supply, etc. So the loss cound be due to these factors.
