Need help getting spain

Post by Titan »

As Axis ive invested into spain with full dip chits. Its now April 42 i have spain at 75% and full investement. Ive captured Cairo and about to take Bagdad. USA is in the war and my guess is im now matched in Diplomatic committment in spain. Since i cant spend more on spain is there anything more i can do to tip it towards the Axis or is it now a lost cause?

You can attack Algeria. See DE 603 (manual)
Even tough I think some details like pro Axis leaning have changed with some patches... maybe the costs too. A bit expensive but you get the MPPs back for sure. Not to mention about the additional units you get, Gibraltar, Portugal and very important units like air units or tanks.

DE 603 – Germany: Entice Franco to Enter
the War?
§§ Event fires: If France has surrendered, Italy
has joined the Axis, Spain is neutral but with at
least a 30% leaning towards the Axis, Algiers and
Casablanca are in Axis hands, with a German
unit within 3 hexes of Algiers, and there are no
Allied troops in France, or within 5 hexes of Oran
or Casablanca.
§§ Cost of accepting: 800 MPPs at 200 MPPs a turn
for 4 turns.
§§ Yes: Franco will join the Axis, annex Morocco,
and crush any internal opposition, and and
(unless she has already entered the war) the
USA will swing 8-15% towards the Allies.
§§ No: Spain will have to be enticed into entering
the war via regular diplomacy, though
conquering Egypt and capturing the Suez Canal
will encourage Franco to join the Axis.

no. As soon as Algeria surrendered and the criteria for DE 603 (see my first posting) are met you can say "yes" to the question to entice Franco to join the Axis (and pay for it) or say no. I strongly recommend reading the DEs mentioned in the manual.

If I recall DE 603 was changed so that Spain had to be 50/60% towards Axis and the Algiers troop strength was increased. DE 603 was once a lame gamers tactic that wasn't true to the spirit of the game and was thankfully changed by the authors.

Yes, it'll need to have a 60% pro-Axis leaning. The Strategy Guides have now been updated accordingly ready for the next patch.
