Hi all, first of all thanks for C.O.R.E, it is the only reason for me to play HOI2 (which is, guess what, also the only game I play so yeah thnx ;) ). I installed HOI2 DD 1.3 on a new computer 2 weeks ago, and then installed C.O.R.E as well, so whatever version I have, it's what TerraNova offered 2 weeks ago.

I played Germany, the year is 1941, my allies were at the time: Nationalist Spain, Slovakia, Italy, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria & finally Egypt (after "British are losing control" event) and Syria also if I am correct. I decided to attack GB just two months before attacking the USSR. I attacked them with 8 aiborne divisions, 9 mountain divisions and 18 regular infantry. GB didn't really manage to fight back, so it surrendered.

This is what happened:
Britain becomes fascist - awesome!
Britain gives me Cornwall & Scapa Flow (right?) - great as well!
Britain gets Gibraltar back from Nationalist Spain - why?
Britain gets the Egyptian coast back, even though Egypt is my ally and thus belonging to the winners - why? and Egypt left us a month later and becomes social conservative.
Britain can fairly easily be persuaded to join my alliance- awesome!
Jordan gets independence, but only gets one province, most of TransJordan becomes British again. I expected all would go to Jordan, or perhaps even Syria (since it was administered as part of Syria before the Mandate), but not this!
A few months later Japan declares war on the United Kingdom, bummer. Now I need to choose either one as an ally which I didn't feel like now. Also, British puppets dont join the war against Japan so nothing happens in India!

If the UK becomes an ally of Germany, it should do concessions with Japan not get in war with it.

---

USA surrendered after a few months of fighting. Texas & Confederates were created with only one province each. PLUS, they are social conservatives, so they cannot join me. USA remains strong (albeit fascist), because the Confederates & Texas don't get all their cores.

Is this gonna change in the next version?
 
Unlikely, though that doesn't mean the surrender events are up to par as of yet. The upcoming release will focus on the AI and economy, mainly. The surrender events are on the to-do list, but not very high on the to-do list for now... :)
