Cost/benefits of receiving expeditionary forces?

Who pays the butcher bill (manpower and materiel?)
Who gets the war contribution for combat?
Who gets the experience for combat?

Manpower is definitely them. Experience is definitely them. Contribution? I assume it's also them, but I don't know. You only get control.
 
I had the same thing and didn't get a couple minor achievements as USSR. I'm pretty sure it's because I didn't increase the difficulty above recruit. There ought to be a message, but in other PDox games no achievements on easy so I assume that's it, for me anyway.
I just got the achievement foi joining a faction, playing on regular.

Makes sense. There should still be a "no achievements" notice for recruit.
 
How do I force my armies to make a troop transport across the sea instead of marching all the way around? For example I have troops in a port in Denmark and want to move them to Oslo, Norway; however they insist on marching through Germany, USSR, Finland, and then down the entire length of Norway.

Figured it out, have to right click on the naval port, instead of just right clicking anywhere in the province.
 
Anyone knows what the blue crystal thing in this picture is supposed to represent? Some ships have them, some don't.

This really bugged me. I was curious. I found, what I think, is the answer:

That's the tooltip for that area, I think the gem must mean capital ship.
 
Does divisions refill their manpower immediately?
 
After I clamed slovenia, france backed up yugo, but british didn't mind. So in 1937 I kicked yugo and france ass alone. Now I have two fascist puppets before poland invasion :) they are both fascist governments, both over 65% party support but they are holding elections - WAD?

Also I get unfulfilled trade deal from my puppet which whom I have highes trade influence. I though that trade influence is like a priority for trade deals. What is it?

Well that is concerning.

I mean it explains my low experience gain and Germany being unwillingly to give me anything because of low contribution.

But my manpower is evaporating and I am not doing any of the heavy lifting.

I was suddenly concerned I was wasting my manpower reinforcing expeditionary divisions that are without field hospitals and arty etc.
 
Why did AI Italy send me 120 INF/CAV/LARM divisions? I accepted and they are all under my command, and because of that Italy is focussing completely on Africa with the divisions they have left. They managed to conquer almost all of North Africa.

Well those 120 divisions make for some great garrison troops. :)
 
Strategic movement, putting troops on trains. How do you make that happen? Simply hitting control doesn't cut it anymore it seems.

My thanks in advance.

Push on the button with the green rails on the interface on the left while having marked the devisions which you want to deploy (its located directly above the listing of the divisions in that army). Then Right-Click on the province where you want to send them.
 
One question.........why isn't Stanley Baldwin the PM of Britain in 1936, as he was in reality? I was wondering this last night.
