För Brödrafolkens Väl! - Forming the Scandinavian Republic

[111none]

Hello guys, this is my first AAR here and pretty much one of my first posts in general.
I'll be playing a mostly un-aligned Sweden in order to form Scandinavian Republic, something similar to the Kalmar Union. I'll edit the game for a new country and make it gain core on all of the area once it's formed.

Using HPP mod on TFH 4.02

The rules I follow will be as follows.
- No bug or AI exploits
- No more than one corps under human control, (Unless an AI bug occurs).
- Remain unaligned as much as possible.
- The Guarantee's of Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland will be removed at game start.
- Core provinces of the nation, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark's all cores. The Schleswig-Holstein of Germany.
- End date is modified to, January 1st, 1952
- Due to the inability to use conquer as a war goal, I will be using the command of surrender via the console.
- China will be split between Nat China and Commie China. - This is for two reasons.
1) Somewhat adjust the power of ROC to better represent it's real power
2) Balance the PRC
-If I can't get permission

Objectives:
-Unite the countries, Denmark, Norway, Sweden.
-Reclaim Schleswig-Holstein from the German Reich
-Solve the question of Finland in the favor of the Scandinavian Republic.
-Cut down of size of Germany and or the Soviet Union
-Remain intact until the end date.


Any suggestions is welcome.

- No more than one corps under human control, (Unless an AI bug occurs).

You will regret this choice
I'm not even sure something like HPP can fix the AI. Nothing wrong with controlling your whole army, it allows for interesting strategies and tactics

Okay, well the rules look good regardless. To be honest, it's okay to leave China out of your editing - you're focusing on Sweden, not Asia, so that may just be more work for you.

Hope that didn't sound rude there :|

Either way, I'll follow this one. I'm interested to see how such a thing might pan out

*Cough* Red China is my home country.
And I understand, but isn't it like the point to have like the Italian AI?

A brief history​

The history of the Konungariket Sverige is long, tainted with blood until the recent days, it's vast lands gone with the rise of the Russian Empire from the treaty of Nystad. The public union of Norway only held so long before mass resistance by the Norwegians ended it in 1905. The further emigration to the United States only further deteriorated the situation. The sun had set on the Swedish empire, it's lands, people, and economy have become a shadow what it once was.

Oscar Gustaf Adolf's ascension to throne in 1907, the first world war and the sad state of the Swedish armed forces had made the newly crowned king and his cabinet for making territorial gains.

With the violation of the post-war Treaty of Versailles in 1935 by the newly formed German Reich convinced Gustaf V that the time was now; when such a move prompted no response, Gustaf was convinced the fragile status quo that held since the end of the great war was bound to break sometime.

The starting situation of the Swedish armed forces are not good, there is no such thing as doctrines due to the fact of Sweden's neutrality since the 1800's.

Technology must be updated, however, due to Sweden's leadership being rather small due to the lack of population. (No. It's not the SU :rofl Priority must be given on certain, key, aspects to maximise efficiency.

Years of neglect have left one of the most important aspects of warfare, intelligence, rather lackluster as well. A priority must be given to make legitimate casus-belli for war; not that it mattered when the world went down in flames.


The political situation is something that Gustaf can relax about, the fascists haven't taken over the Riksdag, neither the communist. At least there was something he didn't have to worry about.

Meanwhile, a proposition is made from the German Reich is made, and accepted.

It is a debatable decision, with in the heated, closed session of debate in the Riksdag, Gustaf himself had to interject several times to prevent fighting from breaking out from the radicals on both sides of the spectrum.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I encourage you to think, and realize, that the current state of our armed forces means we must not antagonize either major powers here, but at the same time, we must not hesitate to defend our sovereignty if necessary. This is a interesting proposition, as we do not have the necessary storage area to sustain such a surplus, selling it off could obtain us assistance in our resources and possibly open the gate to us into to shifting the balance of power with Germany and her new alliance called the, "Axis". Now, this-excuse me?"

The foreign minster, Fredrik Ramel hands Gustaf a sheet a paper, a simple message written, just received from the Foreign office in Moskva.

A simple thought ran through Gustaf's mind,
I've got my work cut out for me.


A/N, This is my first AAR and my first foray attempt at seriously playing HPP. As I see it, sooner or later I will have to fight the Soviets or the Germans.

Also, Sealion anyone?

Of the five Scandinavian countries at game start (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, and Iceland) only Finland is a republic. Why in heaven's name would you abolish the other monarchies to create a Scandinavian republic?

See the post I will be posting in a bit.
And I realize that it's technically that Sweden is a Kingdom, but it just so less fascist that way.

Hi,

since when being a monarchy equals being fascist?

Great, a Sweden AAR, uniting Scandinavia..... I'm in!

Good luck and have fun playing and writing!

 

[gunstickuncle]

Interesting, I was considering sth in that direction with Finland. Would you like me to send you my modified Anschluss event to gain Scandinavian cores for Sweden and inherit their armies as well?

Yes please.

And an update will be posted as soon as my game stops crashing.

@Oldtimer, I'm in China. We watch our words with our hands here.

Can I have a copy of that as well?

Can't wait for another update! And it took me 5 minutes what you mean with your last line, but I get it now .

Avec plaisir:
Crate an empty .txt file in your events folder (of the mod you are using, or tfh) and insert:

########################
#  För Brödrafolkens Väl! #
########################
# TAG - Gain core event
country_event = {

	id = 44444
	
	is_triggered_only = yes
	
	title = "EVTNAME44444"
	desc = "EVTDESC44444"
	picture = "anchsluss"

	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTA44444"			# Become a part of TAG
		ai_chance = {
			factor = 100
		}
		any_owned = { limit = { is_core = THIS } add_core = SWE }
		SWE = { split_troops = 1.0 }
	}

Then you can tag switch to FIN/DEN/NOR and trigger it with the console. type
tag FIN
event 44444

Sweden inherits all troops and gains cores on all countries that you fire this event from. I'll leave it up to you when you fire it.

Alternatively dl the file from
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9f6ryhm5kyae3zp/GainCore.txt?dl=0
and copy it in the respective events folder

Many thanks, I'll make a event like Vichy France's and defect leaders.

(Also, Civil war goal anyone? Crush the dissents of Insert country here)
