New game, still playing Canada, events played out like they should have, managed to hold France until mid September then I take my troops home. I'm messing around with upgrading my troops and planning my new navy and suddenly I look at Britain to access the diplomacy screen and do a blueprint deal and I see:
Fuck, what do I do now? I haven't got a save since the war in France, I decide to loan my 3 air groups currently in Greece to the UK. Which under AI control sends them back to Greece, then to Scotland and back to Greece so their org is never higher enough to actually perform missions, meanwhile Germany is taking over England. When it finally starts using them they do OK but suddenly a German army lands in Portsmouth which for some reason was completely undefended and wipes my entire air force out...
Think I should reload an autosave? Can Britain be saved (and where the hell is the huge British fleet and army)?Is the war winnable without Britain (never happened in a game before) and if so what strategy should I follow? I'm just now starting my navy which I based off Vancouver to be in the Pacific theater, will Germany try to invade my provinces?
I'm hoping the USA enters the war pretty soon but I have my doubts whether they can take on Germany with only the other minor powers, the Soviets will probably be crushed. In all my previous games the USA has hardly done anything, they take forever to invade Japan and when they get Morrocco just send a couple of divisions over.
More importantly, if mainalnd Britain remains just a colony maybe it won't be so bad, we'll be deprived of their industry/research but Germany won't get it. On the other hand if Germany turns Britain into a puppet (British Nazis?) and takes over the British fleet I'm fucked.
