What happens when you annex a Puppet

[Wolf]

Hey folks,
I have a question concerning the TfV DLC Puppet mechanic:
What happens to puppet units already deployed once you annex the puppet via the autonomy system?
I am playing a Japan game right now and the sowjets are focusing their War on Japan, and my Manchukuo puppet units are stationed along that border, so it would be very unconvenient if the units just vanish....

you still get to keep their units i think

[Wolf]

i am playing ironman so i think is not good enough for me ^^

[Nightmare]

you just annex and gonna have all of their stuff

[Wolf]

if it works like installing a new puppet then there are no units left...

Question, will they still use puppet manpower, or will they then use YOUR manpower if they do join you?

When you annex a puppet, you get the manpower from their states, whatever military they had, and any stored equipment. You get everything from your puppets you annex.

As #7, above.

BUT.... it may be to your advantage to NOT annex, and don't involve your Puppets in any War vs USSR (i.e. don't call them to fight) until you're ready to.

This will limit the size of the "Front Line" to that one Province near Vladivostock and the Southern half of the peninsular region (forget what its called) North by North-East of Vladivostock.

Unless you've already defeated China & The Raj & Malaya of course in which case go for it :)

Thx a lot,
i started with an invasion of USA, so no problem overall. but not at war with any other major so far.
And once i start i think i will have to shift better troops around...

When you annex your puppet, you get all their units, factories etc, keep in mind you won't get their "full manpower" because for them it is core states, that the can get the full effect from, but for you it is a non core state that you will only get a very small percentage from (like 0.02%).

I thought he was suggesting that you get cores on an annexed puppet, which would be amazing.

My question was in regards to "colonial" units. When you annex the puppet, they disappear, too? Not just the puppet's own military? That kinda sucks, lol
