I would like to play an historical game that starts in 1936 tonight at 10:00 PM Eastern Time.

- Allies and commitern are not allied, even through not at war.
- No sharing of resources with an Alliance that is not at war.
- Do not attempt coup d'état countries play by other human.
- China may only join Allies if Japan joins Axis.
- USA cannot wage war to Axis before 1942, unless Japan attack a western country.
- No unhistorical alliances are allowed. All axis may ally whenever they choose to.
- Allies and the Soviets aren't allowed to break Trade agreements with Axis humans unless at war or through events (US oil embargo).
- No tech sharing (except within the Commonwealth) unless the alliance is at war.

I am planning on saving the game and continue when players have agreed on a date and time.

Let me know which country you would like to play.
 
Interested, depends of course if you get any more interested parties. Im west coast Canada so the time should work out fine here. Whats yer connection speed?

nation selection:

1) US
2) SU
3) UK

If we don't have enough states of course SU will be my 1st.

Well seems like I might have posted this to late. I am not always sure many days in advance when I will be available. I would still like to play, even if we are only two, to test how it is to complete a game in MP... Being a small number make it easier to save and continue later-on.

Let me know if this is a possibility for you...

I suspected as much (time wise). Usually a good week is needed for HOI or EU2, I imagine HOI2 is hardly different :). I'm fine for a 2 player game as well to test out MP (see if it even works), this being my first HOI2 MP venture.

I guess we'll arrange the scenario etc. at game time :) . By the way, where do you live and what kind of connection you running?
 
Methinks, that we should use this as a base thread for any discussions, rules, and intended times for our game.

As it stands next game time is at - 2130 EST.

See you mates there.

What are we considering "stupid" DoW's?
eg. Turkey, Spain, Sweden by Germany to get at other, strategic targets despite alignment?
or Siam, just to get wartime production bonuses?

No, i'd say those are not that unreasonable as they are tactical paths required for a strategic aim. Out of place dows would be the USA dow'ing the UK or the USSR (maybe later but not now), Japanese-German conflict etc. Ideally you'd try other means like military access or alliance of Turkey/Spain before outright annexation but if its more reasonable for you to just occupy the land by all means it doesn't sound to outrageous.

I will promise not to manipulate US war entry as well so the game is more realistic, and I propose that we make this an "official" 3 alliance game so that there is at least a little competition between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union.

Anyhow, see you warlords in a jiffy.

As K'shar mentionned, not manipulating USA so that it will join the war with Allies quicker. For me a stupid DOW is if you declare war on a country that has the same type of government (Facist going to war against Facist for example).

No one should attack countries one after the other without reason...
 
Frank:

That's why I brought the topic up. From what K'shar said, it sounds like invading Nat. Spain is a valid path to taking out Gibraltar. From what you've said, because they're fascist, it sounds like I have to put up with their refusal to let me walk through (and in HoI2, I can't attack through milaccess, I need alliance).

I understand not annexing Switzerland and Sweden just to get easy conquests, but if I take out Turkey to get at Stalingrad and Suez I am indeed taking them out for a reason. However, I will refrain from attacking Fascists if that's the rule.
