As far as I'm aware, there's a major war on between Greece and Germany. Apparently Greece became super-Greece through some shady dealings. Like a bunch of accounts that registered in Czechoslovakia and Austria, then seceded and defected to Greece.

Poland and Greece are at war with Germany. I've got an animated .gif file of the map over the last week or so. If you want to see.
well, one more person guarding suez can't hurt, in my opinion. Of course, being in egypt makes sending any help rather difficult. You should have a neighbor down there, try asking him

We've got a port in Southern Iberia, could start shuttling fuel down there to help stage transport ships.

Is it near Cario? Cause I could, if I knew how, send 4k fuel ive been saving :u

I'm not sure if 4k fuel worth it, but Gibraltar is about half way between Britain and Cairo.

I would think you would use one of the wider maps (political, terrain, or province) to center on the location, find the port, then click the wee box with sideways triangles near the top left under your current resource readouts and select the resources and transfer methods that appear in the box within.

Unfortunately, I don't think said box displays the fuel requirements of transport.

You don't appear to be able to under go succession until we are diplomatically active, and thobal's map shows what appears to be a lot of that going on.

Yeah, we're lucky to have the sea.

You know, we should have started with Australia, its got enough spare Provinces after activation, we would be by ourselves and there is Jungles and everything needed...

Tired of being the only active player in France who looks at messages (and becoming 2nd france player in 2 weeks in not that good for France...), I'm joining the Great Empire !

I'm in the province of Ipoh, in malaysia, with neighbours, and quite a big netherland's presence near... That should be interresting !

Great. Yeah, the Dutch got pwned in Europe, but are doing great in the East Indies. They've sent those 2 Heavy Cruisers that are in the Suez canal. I really hope I can make friends of them.

It's frustrating that there are so many taken but inactive provinces in the mainland UK, and so many people wanting to join in.

At least when we get diplomatically active we can take some sort of control.

I believe we should befriend them and allow them to use suez canal, before they decide they would rather take it themselves. I doubt we will be able to dispatch a navy able to defend the canal before activation.

we may even offer to sell them fuel for their ships.

pre-edit: what is most annoying is the 3 inactive provinces in the north blocking our railroad network. we should get at least virex to log in and build a railroad. Dundee must be linked to the rest of the antion, so we can support our research center.

Yes well this s why I put a navy as out nuber one thing to focus on. Deend our coat line/buildings. And the sea is our natural advantage. I asume in this game its hard to stop someone landing on the UK. We can not be online all day to stop them so we also need a decent defence land army ofc :D

Best defence is a good offence and all that.

Actually it's pretty easy. They can only land marines/paratroops without controlling an harbor/airport.

Occupying a hex take at least 24h. So we have time to see them landing, and bomb the shit out of them before they can land reinforcement.

yes, it does. But to take full advantage of it, we need to set up regional garrisons with fast units and/or planes, so that we can destroy enemies before they can land more units.
