Minor increase in land forces since German has 3 infantry divisions and 1 panzerdivision in the province bordering Denmark.
Flesh out the Danish airforce, which has been missing in the encyclopedia. I'm currently leaning on a heavily air-superiority based airforce, since there is no target on whom Denmark can meaningfully/proportionally conduct strategic bombing.
whether Denmark will retain these arms trading links is something you would need to work out with Rocky and Snip.

As discussed...
I'm thinking now of reducing the army size from the current 100,000 (1936-7 from Commodore) down to 25,000. This will be followed by an increase in "heavy" assets, such as artillery, tanks, etc. That is, a more fully mechanized and expensive army in exchange for a less manpower intensive one.
In the area of tanks, I am considering buying mostly complete tanks from neutral countries and then building and applying any modifications at home. In that sense, the risk from arms embargoes to maintenance is minimized. I define neutral as: 1) Not likely to embargo Denmark, and 2) Will not give Denmark a bad reputation for dealing with them. For example, as I gather India and China would seem to pass on point 1 and fail on point 2.
The Danes have had a pretty robust tank and aircraft industry in the past...

As for the airforce, I've been thinking about continuing the collaboration with France. Depending on the specs of the latest Danish fighter and the state of it's aviation industry, I might elect to simply buy French planes.
The Danes have had a pretty robust tank and aircraft industry in the past, there were tie-ups with Italian firms etc. and of course the AEGIS partners brought a lot of Danish equipment.
Commodore Green's DAF aircraft firm had subsidiaries in Iberia and Italy (DAF Iberia and DAF Italia) and another firm was S.A.I. (an historic firm I believe).

The bicycle-geared attack aircraft I remembered. Apparently built by DAF Italia, which I didn't remember. Snip, did Italy buy any of these?
