Hmm...
[Takes look at previous lists of ideas]
If the Soviet Union is bitter peaced by the Germans, they should become very aggressive and take over as much of central asia and china as they can--that is the only way they can avoid being overwhelmed by a second German campaign.
Interesting idea, we really need to think about the 'aftermath' of odd things happening (like Germany defeating Russia, what happens next?).
Soviet Conquests in Eastern Europe should have "forced relocation" events that change the national territories of their own and other nations. Theoretically, the Soviets could roll the Germans beyond the Weser river if they wanted to.
After bitter peace event, the Germans really should get a Germaniserung event--without a war to worry about, the Germans really can start resettling things.
There was a big discussion of this a while back, with the general conclusion being that there was not the timeframe in which Germany could effectively 'Germanize' even small parts of Russia. Not by 1948.
If the Allies and the Germans come to peace, all of "France" should go to "Vichy France" as one of the conditions of peace would be the recognize Vichy as the legitimate French government.
Germany should keep the contested French areas, along with Italy (if Axis).
I'd like to see a Japan vs Germany showdown after the allies and commintern are finished.
Unless Japan is allied, once the other alliances are defeated it is game over.
What about USA Immigration policies? I know that there were many people who wanted to leave europe during and after WWII. Should immigrants to the USA increase the Manpower of the USA? And should the USA have an event to decide whether they want more manpower at the cost of dissent?
I don't really know how much immigration would really have affected the size of avaliable manpower. Immigration was small, in relation to the total population.
If Hitler dies or is taken out of office, shouldn't Germany immediately offer peace to everyone its fighting?
This would kind of make the game dull at certain points, say if Hitler was randomly killed and Germany is player controlled, suddenly they have to make peace?
Romania should really be leaning allied if the Vienna Diktat and the Claims on Bessarabia happen to it. It would only think otherwise if Antonescu is in power.
Romania should only move toward the Axis when France is defeated. Without France (their mentor nation), Romania would feel at the mercy of Russia or Germany, and would have to make a choice between the two which to be allied, and which to be their enemy.
Allies should have a shot at negotations with Soviet Union in the same timeframe as the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, and the Soviets get to decide whether they want to protect Poland or eat it.
Interesting, what should happen if Russia decides to 'eat it'?
Germany should get dissent for having to WITHDRAW ITS PEOPLE from the baltic states as part of the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact (part of why I think dissent for it is wrong)
Well, I wonder what was more important, seeing that foreign Germans were put under Soviet control, or, that they won't have to face a war against Russia (at least this is what it seemed like).
USA should have a "Fire Patton?" event, and a "Patton dies" event as well.
This really depends on what patton does. If there are events in place that have him slapping soldiers, or doing silly things, saying bad stuff, there should be consequences (event like "Patton states he wants to rearm Germans to fight the Russians" do you "Yell at him", "Fire Him", "Ignore him")
There should be a chance that India or other colonies run by Great Britian have a chance of breaking away during hostilities.
Depending on wether or not they are invaded, this would be true. India breaking off without Japan in the war, or Japan in India was impossible. The army was too loyal to the British, and a significant number of British troops were in India.
USA, then, should have an economic boom event after the war.
Once the war is over, the game is over.
Soviet Union should be able to Demand Reparations from Germany, after Germany is defeated. The Soviets would get a boatload of cash, but their DDR puppet would really not it, and its possible, be bled dry by paying reparations.
Depending on the status of Japan, or a war between the Allies, this depends on wether the game is over at Germany's defeat or not.
IF China is Axis and Japan is allied, THERE IS NO WAY THE JAPANESE SHOULD ATTACK THE USA!!! That strikes me, more than any other abuse I've heard about, as true powergaming HOI2 to a very ahistorical extent.
There should be things in place to stop silly alliances (like the US joining the Axis because Japan is allied).
In addition, if Japan DOWs the USA, the germans should have the choice of ejecting the Japanese from the Axis so that they are not dragged into a war against America. The USA should also not join the allies because of a Japan only war either.
There should be consequences, and knowing FDR, he would find a way to get into the war against Germany.
