Only "Anschluss" or "War" available as Austria?

[Uzigunner]

I can remember in HoI3 that if Austria was fashist before the Anschluss you received a option to simply join the axis without getting annexed. Now it seems this option was totally deleted. War or Anschluss. So every game with Austria ends at Feb. 1938, no matter which of the 2 buttons you click. Please bring back this option. THX!

Have a look at post 30. This way you can advance as Austria pretty sucsessfully.

I ve tried 2 scenarios yesterday with Austria. 1) immideately research first political trait, after 70 days for completing this you get 120 points and end with more than 150 points. 2) select fashist demagoge and raise fashist gouverment. This will make you fashist already in April 36. 3) joined axis and bring up industry. 4) claim for war either in swiss or hungary by Jan 37 latest. Select all possible war claims and the time will take something about 300 to 340 days. 5) in January 38 declare war and start to advance. By declaring war call germany to help. Important is that german troops are already fighting when Anschluss event is triggered at Feb. 38. 6) at Anschluss decline the request and you will see a Axis invite symbol at the top. 7) rejoin axis in still paused game.
By taking swiss it was not possible for me to get further territory as germany will install a puppet of whole swiss. But interesting was that germany received over 10K of equipment which can be some boost for you ally. Also this variant can be interesting if someone does not like to split hungary. I personally took Hungary and was able to claim 2 states giving me a double in factories etc. Budapest itself was puppet of Germany then. Anyway even by not benefitting of the loads of ressources from Budapest i was able to set up a nice force and to beat whole yugoslavia, bringing the access to sea and tons of material. I will now continoue invading greek. Immediately after Hungary i prepared war claims on yugoslavia. It will take another 350 days to complete using this time for updating my army. The only headache currently are the naval invaidings of UK in Italy... We need to protect... Hell i need more troops....

my advice BUILD naval forts and garrison troops there.the AI only likes to land on naval bases and with forts/troops they cant get on shore..did it im my third attempt as china and it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WORKED! now im building a naval invasion fleet.

This could work for the yugoslavian coastline, good point, i will try this! The only problem is that UK invades the ally Italy, where i am not able to build anything. Seems like i need to defend there manually until i have build up some fleet. Best would be of course to get rid of UK completly ;) some operation sea lion maybe... Later...

well you should be able to garrison there but since the garrioning spreads out your units in annoying ways and wont converge when attacked it might not work as well as the ones with the forts.

How many forts you have built per harbor or coastal city?

" can remember in HoI3 that if Austria was fashist before the Anschluss"
Actually in a real history Austria really WAS faschist befor the Anschluss - rember Dolfuss and Schischnig. And after the first nazi atempt to take a power, faschist Italy even thretened to help Austria against the Reich.
Unfortunately, this historical nod is always ignored by game devs (((
I really would like to build coallition Austria-Hungary-Polland-Italy-Balkanian nations - and to fight againts nazi, commi and muslims. That would be funny.

Hey, I´m working on a mod right now which should also allow some alternative national focus options. Demand on "Südtirol" is already in and I´m also planning some multiple choise options for hungary incl. the creation of a new faction.
The only thing is that it is the first time I mod Paradox games and I´ve just started. Its quite time consuming to understand everything so expect that I will need some weeks for release. But stay tuned, I will send a post here when I´m done.

thanks ! yea, beginning is hard but i made already some steps forward. currently i try to implement a new foreign politics tree in the national focus tree. I have some quite good ideas to implement ;) after this i want to trigger with some of the focuses new events, but need to go deeper into the event thinng later. For now, the focus tree is growing and growing, occuring errors were eliminated, and therefore I´m quite happy with the progress so far... i hope it will stay like this...

Any good Japan playthroughs?

I did Japan, but boy, it can SUCK hard.

I took all the Chinas, rolled into Tibet, snatched them, then had to justify war against Nepal and, what is it, Bhutan, which made me go "WTF?" I mean, seriously, I'm fascist Japan, I just wrecked the two big Chinas and the little Chinas, but I have to justify snatching those 1-2 province countries? What the hell?

Anyway.

For a year or so the Soviets and I were staring at each other across the border, until I had my attack army ready and went at them.

Massive fighting into Siberia and then westward towards Moscow. I wanted the oil fields.

Then it got just "WTF?!" again.

My spearheads were close to the Urals, ready to pounce into Moscow, when suddenly Germany joined the war, walked 5 yards to Moscow, took it, ended the war and then I almost flipped the table because Germany took basically all the stuff I conquered thanks to the victory points rules. Apparently the USSR east of the Urals is worth 3 points or so, while everything west of them is what you really want, which is ludicrous.

Well, after that I worked my butt off to become a democracy. The US and the Commonwealth joined me against Axis and we wrecked Germany and Italy. Japanese troops operating deep in Africa and France, naval landing on Sicily in support of a US invasion, etc, that was fun.
