Is it ok to attach support brigades to marines and airborne?

Not sure what you mean by OK, but it won't prevent them from parachuting or making amphibious assaults. If you look at the division designer for airborne units, there is a parachute icon with a green arrow indicating that the unit can be parachuted. As long as that stays green, then you're good.

EDIT: Now, I assume you mean the support companies in the division designer. If you mean trying to attach a tank unit to a mostly paratrooper army and then paradrop them...that won't work.
 
If I, as Hungary, conquered Austria could Germany still anchluss?

I don't believe so because the tooltip for the Anchluss as Germany says "Austria gets event..."

So i'm thinking if Austria doesn't exist then it wouldn't be possible.

Short answer, Joe's right. Complete story: the cannot but they still get cores on the territory. See code below:

Code:
    focus = {
        id = GER_anschluss
        icon = GFX_goal_anschluss
        prerequisite = { focus = GER_rhineland }
        available = {
            is_puppet = no
            has_army_manpower = { size > 549999 }
            NOT = { has_idea = rhineland_challenge_met }
        }
        cancel = {
            has_idea = rhineland_challenge_met
        }
        cancel_if_invalid = no
        x = 15
        y = 1
        cost = 10
        ai_will_do = {
            factor = 10
            modifier = {
                factor = 0
                date < 1938.1.1
            }
        } 
        completion_reward = {
            army_experience = 10
            if = {
                limit = {

As the US I'm leading the liberation of Europe from Nazi Germany, but none of the territory I'm taking is going to me. First it went to the UK in Italy and I assumed that was because they were the leaders of the Allies and/or were also attacking with me. But now I'm taking Munich and all the territory is going to Yugoslavia who aren't contributing soliders at this point, although they did earlier, and in the North the land is all going to Denmark/UK/France/Belgium/Netherlands.

I suppose it makes sense for the liberated countries to just take control back, but why is Denmark and the UK getting German territory when I'm leading the attack?
 
Not sure what you mean by OK, but it won't prevent them from parachuting or making amphibious assaults. If you look at the division designer for airborne units, there is a parachute icon with a green arrow indicating that the unit can be parachuted. As long as that stays green, then you're good.

EDIT: Now, I assume you mean the support companies in the division designer. If you mean trying to attach a tank unit to a mostly paratrooper army and then paradrop them...that won't work.

I mean it will negatively effect the division or is it like any other division.

I've noticed I can set my carrier aircraft to roles in a region, just like you set land based aircraft roles. Can someone confirm I don't need to do this to get the carrier aircraft to fly in a sea battle? I.e, I don't need to set my naval bomber to naval strike to get them to attack other ships if there's a sea battle? Or the carrier fighters to intercept to ensure they fly cap to protect the fleet?
 
I mean it will negatively effect the division or is it like any other division.

Not any more so than an infantry or armored division. It will make the division need more manpower and other equipment, but it could end up helping them in the long run. Personally, I always beef up my paratrooper divisions into a 3x3 section of paratroopers and a field hospital, engineers, supply company, signal company, and recon company.

I try to pick "realistic" support companies for the divisions but ultimately, you can pick what you want. If you click on the support company an info card should come up and tell you how they affect the unit.

When it comes to the paratroopers, it will make it literally impossible to paradrop those divisions. An indicator appears when a division is able to be paradropped, IIRC- the only mainline brigades that can paradrop *are* paratroopers. You can throw on any support battalions you'd like though. (Logistics are a lifesaver)

As far as the naval invasions, you can throw in anything you want, just remember that any units based on vehicles will get nasty penalties on a naval invasion. It's generally better to just give your marines support battalions, and if you desperately need it, maybe an artillery brigade or so. Tanks don't seem to work very well in the water :p
 
Am I missing something here? How do I not meet the requirements?

The used manpower total includes units in the process of being built and trained but as yet not deployed.

If you select the land armies icon (top right corner of map screen) then select details (little page icon near top of land army pop up) it will give a better breakdown of your army including deployed units.
 
The battle planner is driving me crazy. I want one big frontline, with several smaller fronteline to use as "jump-of" points for my invasion. But after creating the big frontline, it wont let me create any others along the same line... do you have to get a new Army for each frontline?
AFAIK the answer is no, you can draw other attacks (arrows) select the units you want assigned to that attack and left click the arrow.
 
How do I turn off the day night cycle or can you not? it is annoying the crap out of me
set of three boxes in the bottom right hand corner of the map screen. First one on the left is the day/night option. uncheck it.
 
Question.

How i can put 2 pieces of equipement to compare on the research screen? I already saw someone do it on youtube but can´t repeat the process.




1-> Really depends on your necessity. Just remember to stay under the number limit (24 generals/ infinity field marshals) . Generals upgrade faster.

2-> If you can afford a general/Field M. Just for them sure. This way you will not confuse yourself sending paratroopers somewhere and find out half your army can´t do that order.

3-> Atrittion works even on peacetime. Got the same problem with Brazil. Just send the unit to someplace with high infrastructure.

4-> Nop. Make them work 100% of the time, no benefit staying idle.

5-> Yes. If you can afford go for the limit. Just remember the limit works for almost everything. (Industry both civilian and military, Dockyards, radars, refinerys, nuclear plants).

So you need to becareful to not use max slots on a province you wish to build some radars for example. Some tech increase the maximum amount (20% each until 100%).
If I remember correctly, just open the first window and move it over and then open the second window. I noticed when I played they always open in the same place so over lap keeps you from seeing them.
 
How can I allow the US (the country I am playing) to attack Mexico?

IOWs, I don't know how to change my country to Fascist or Communist, which I think is the prereq. to go to war with others...correct?

And, let me sneak in another question/comment: It appears to me that we can choose who, and how much we can import resources from, but it appears that the player has NO control of how much and to whom you can export to; it appears automatic?

Regards,

Marc
second point is correct it is automatic.

First, yes you need to be Fascist or Communist to attack others. Dems have to wait for world tension (and other pre-reqs I don't know cause I am a war-mongering despot).

To change USA to fascist or Communist. Appoint the appropriate sympathizer advisor to your cabinet.
 
Is there some way to see how much equipment I have looted when I receive a capitulation of an enemy? In "world war wednesday" there was a messagebox, but somehow that does not seem to be the case anymore.
 
Question - can front lines be stretched over more than one country border? I haven't figured out how to extend my Netherlands front line south to cover Belgium and Luxemburg.....
i believe so, as long as the borders are against you in the same war. you cannot for example pre declaring war on Belgium and Luxembourg extend a front line over the two borders.

i could be wrong but that is my understanding
