And I still don't understand why GNUK would feel the need to attack FAR. Both of our treaties are defensive - who's to say that if, for instance, Germany declares war on France, that Britain and Nordmark won't say "Fugitaboutit!" and stay neutral? Suddenly it's Germany versus FAR. Still a tough slog (especially for France), but not impossible.
I kinda feel this discussion is kinda pointless. None of us want to sign up to lose a major war: we all want to win on our own terms. So we just fall back on kicking around minor powers and NPCs. There's nothing serious being discussed here, just the usual "Well my alliance can beat your alliance so nyah nyah nyah."

I'm not as sure what would happen if France (for reasons unknown at this time) declared war on Germany, because FAR sometimes seems more locked together than the other alliances, but it's certainly possible that Atlantis, Chile, and Russia would step back and say, "Hey, not our problem, you go fight your own wars" (while perhaps sending diplomatic cables to Berlin asking the German government to limit the reparations if the war ends badly for Paris).

Yeah its all sandtable.
I could allow the Dutch to loose, they are only mid-sized with relatively poor infrastructure for the population...but they would not go down as easily as in 1940/41, which would mean a great deal of time to work out which I doubt I have.
So the sandtable exercise becomes the closest we are likely to come and an interesting one.
Plus it's always possible we will hit on a doable conflict and so have something to play with. Part of that is wondering where the alliances that make scripting something so tough...break down.
In some cases though, I wonder about oil supplies and other raw materials. Which, like logistics, tend to get glossed over. This is, as historically, where the US could play a critical roll. That GBN:AEGIS war may go differently if AEGIS can leverage their control of trade choke points to block oil...but not if the US oil continues to flow.

I went with a GBN victory over AEGIS due to GBN IMO being strongest were it counts the most, in Europe. The Dutch and the Italians IMO will be crushed; not an easy OTL campaign but IMO the end result. Also historically in the 1930's Romania was in the top five oil producers of the world so their production have to be taken into consideration.

For example it makes more sense to me for the Dutch to seek accomodation with the GBN and the SAE and leave AANM; that gives you more security at home and brings the number one player in the Indian Ocean to your side.

Romania's policy on the sale of oil to non-allied countries that are at war is quite simple: No sale. The Romanians wish for Europe to remain at peace, and are willing to place an oil embargo on any nation(s) that break the peace of Europe, a peace that was bought with the blood of millions. Now mind you, there are other sources of oil besides Romanian, but Romanian is the closest for most central European countries.............

The Angola idea sounds good, as does a Kongo storyline with them breaking away or something. The SAE Vs Italy idea sounds interesting, maybe another European power instead, France Vs Denmark? Iberia Vs Atlantis?

Even an India Vs China war would be interesting and not too far fetched.

Uhm, they barely have a border, and it's the Himalayas. Not a very practical border to have a fight across......
