In a "simulation", the US would lean toward neutrality, unless heavily "tipped" by some event or concentrated pressure over time. In a "sandbox" game, the US could easily be drawn into either the Allied or the Axis camp.
There's a big difference between a "sandbox" game and a "simulation", or between those and a "linear" set of events which are locked to represent history, but HOI3 has nearly unpreventable "pseudo-sandbox" alternative paths leading to rigid historical outcomes which are at total odds with the situation.and then it crashes. The problem is that the player has to do unrealistic things to make them do anything realistic. The problem isn't that countries are doing unrealistic things if the player does unrealistic things. In the game, they almost inevitably slide into the Allied camp unless Germany takes strong measures to prevent it. If you'll notice in your history, Finland didn't join the Allies, either. Getting Finland into Axis at the very start of Barbarossa can also work well if you have spare divisions you can commit to solidly hold the line of Helsinki and Turku to prevent Finland from surrendering, because it will draw off a disproportionate number of Soviet divisions to Finland while you advance through USSR's Western border. I like to get Finland to join once I get close to Leningrad, then transport some troops by sea to Finland. Finland never was an Axis member, Hitler in fact made a surprise visit to Finland in 1943 for Mannerheim's birthday where he tried hard to convince him to join the Axis and commit Finland to fight to the bitter end alongside Germany, but the Finns refused.
So do I actually need to get them to elect their National Socialist party through spies? In WW2 as far as I know Finland was always a democracy.Īnd to Sangeli: Finland allied itself to Germany only for the sake of retaking Karelia from Russia which it lost in the Winter War, Mannerheim refused to go beyond that, the Finns refused to directly participate in the siege of Leningrad. I also had problems with getting Finland into Axis in HOI2 Arma if they did not "Elect right" in their last pre war election. Danielfc, in my case an invitation to faction offer is always "Impossible" in the diplomatic screen.
