Naval treaty as U.S.

[$Money$]

Is there any drawback for leaving the naval treaty?

May escalate other nations leaving early as well

IMO, best to just wait it out and let Italy and Japan cheat, thereby activating escalator clauses. The treaty drops off on its own eventually (in an historical game).

It gives the other signatories war goals on you and it invokes a clause in the treaty so the building limits on the signatories are raised abit.

haha.

As if the UK can do anything to the USA in this game.

OP, there's really no downsides except that other people might leave early as well.

The UK can destroy the US navy, which is a pretty big deal for an island nation.

while the UK is off beating up the USA, German, Italy and Japan slaughter the remaining France and UK fleets and UK gets hammered by landings and boom, UK is no more. But ya, you could cause UK to attack you. (It is funny to watch UK unload all their armies on the canadian border only to have to run them back once the war starts and Germany U-Boats sink them)...

tis a game afterall :)

at the start of the game, delete half of your army and convert the remaining forces to the national guard division template, that way the UK will think you're too powerful to invade

Until you just rebuild your navy again because you have a massive amount of factories and dockyards.

Or just don't send out your fleet.

As the U.S. you start off with two carriers and three heavy cruisers building, right? Unless I delete all of them it pushes me over the edge and Britain hits me with the "or else" bit.

Who the hell thought that was a good idea?
