Hello,
I will have to post these here and hope someone knows the answers, because I
cannot do anything on the official forums with constant times outs. In fact,
once I login, I cannot even read it.
So:
1) Do battleships automatically bombard when next to a provence with a
battle like they did in HOI1?
2) How do I grant military access to my allies? I am playing the UK and have
invaded Europe. It wasn't until I annexed Germany, and then liberated
Germany, France, and Czech before I got any help. When checking who has
access, I can see why. Most of my allies do not have military access. Any
ideas how to get around this?
3) I am really, really, really short of manpower. If I disband some of my
inventory, is the manpower put back into the pool, or lost. From the looks
of things it goes back into the pool, but that could be the normal manpower
gain..
4) What is the best way of dealing with Vichy France? Once I have "proper"
france back (apart from the Vichy territories), do I need to declare war on
Vichy France and take it by force?
5) I normally play the UK on normal skill level and have never had the
Japanese join the Axis. Is this because of the skill level, or do they
rarely join?
Thank you very much to anyone who can help. It is a fantastic game, great
entertainment, but damn it, I need to spend less time playing it
