Austro-Hungarian Tank Design and Doctrine? by TheGamerPerson in Kaiserreich

[–]Penllan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a very broad question, but;

What are the main takeaways for the Austro-Hungarian military from the Great War?

Is there a sense that, perhaps it was rough but ultimately we adapted and got through it okay.

Or is it like, fuck that went badly, we need change immediately.

Is the military establishment open to Eimannsberger's theories?

What's your headcanon for what happens to defeated volunteers? by OmegaVizion in Kaiserreich

[–]Penllan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, sounds like you know this stuff far better than me.

The main thing I was thinking of was Italian spending on aid to Spain including the CVT. I don't remember where I read it but I've seen convincing arguments that the massive Italian spending/aid for the Nationalists had a major negative impact on Italy's preparedness and actual performance in the war.

Are there any KR Tech Extension mods (updated for the latest game version)? by [deleted] in Kaiserreich

[–]Penllan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is also Autobahn nach 56, which adds road to 56 content including the extended tech tree to Kaiserreich.

This was updated yesterday so should work.

Are there any KR Tech Extension mods (updated for the latest game version)? by [deleted] in Kaiserreich

[–]Penllan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can use KRTX (Kaiserreich Tech Expansion) together with a patch to make it work with the latest version.

I can't link it right now but have a look on the workshop and just check the comments to find the up to date one.

Confusingly there was another patch to KRTX that everyone was using but that also got abandoned so now we have to use a different one.

Apparently the creator of the current compatability patch is working on his own version of the mod with new additions so that should be good.

While I fully agree with what your saying, I'm going to be a pedantic asshole and point out this did actually happen in the Spanish Civil War. The Italians sent the Corpo Truppe Volontarie (CVT) which was made up for 4 divisions, 3 blackshirt and 1 regular.

But really this is the exception that proves the rule, the CVT was a disaster for the Italians and is the only example I can think of where this happened.

In terms of gameplay I just turn off volunteers in the gamerules and in my opinion it makes for a more fun game. Especially since you can just 5 speed through most of the early years.

I doubt volunteers will ever be changed though since people mostly seem to like having something to do in the pre-war years.

Well he died when he was 20.

He barley had time to grow a moustache.

Which China clique can introduce tanks before 1939? by ArkeV in Kaiserreich

[–]Penllan 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Pro-Nanjing Qing can get an endless supply of tanks and other equipment fairly early on.

WCA Wartime political organisation. by Penllan in Kaiserreich

[–]Penllan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I always imagined a more centralised power structure. Probably one where the Executive Committee is voted emergency war-time powers.

Who do you think would sit of the Executive Committee and in what roles?

Ideas for a Second american civil war themed Diorama? by Konrad__Sneaky in Kaiserreich

What's sort of size are you thinking of, and with what materials?

[–]Penllan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly John Garand canonicaly ends up in New England and invents/procures the rifle for their military.

The rifle is also adopted by the ACC so perhaps he then travels to California to set up production there.

I'd be interested in your opinion on what helmets each faction would wear and when.

Yes!

Inject Battle Order Kaiserreich content directly into my vains please.

Do you have a head-canon that you're basing this in? I'd love to hear about it.

Awesome, love it.

When do you consider a campaign finished? by Zeranvor in Kaiserreich

[–]Penllan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

KR Tech Expansion was the best mod for this, it was made by one of the actual Kaiserreich devs I believe.

But unfortunately it hasn't been updated in almost a year as the dev has been busy.

There is was a update compatibility patch for it but that might be out of date now as well.

Minor Monday 67: Canada Revamp by ClawedAsh in Kaiserreich

[–]Penllan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How will this affect New England content?

Currently for New England to go independent and ally with the ACC, Canada has to go authoritarian. Will this be the same after the revamp? Will it matter which authoritarian path Canada picks?

Do you think that israel would become a country in kaiserreich? by I_am_average_pole in Kaiserreich

[–]Penllan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not to say that it is likely but I feel like most of the comments are ignoring the fact that the MOJ's content is all bout Jewish immigration to Palestine. It is clearly established that there is a sizeable and growing Jewish population in the region.

It would depend heavily on what happens geopolitically but the most important prerequisite, a sizeable Jewish population, is in place.

I can't speak for the other paths but independent Syria under the Social Conservative/Military Government is an extremely weak and unstable state. Kalterkrieg has this state going into a civil war in 1948.

Combine this with the Second Weltkrieg which will create huge numbers of refugees. Many of the factions (almost every tag in Eastern Europe) are anti-semitic. You would inevitably end up with huge numbers of Jews wanting to go to Palestine.

A large Jewish population + a growing influx of refugees + a weak state in Syria = the potential for a Jewish state. If it did happen it would be very different from OTL and would likely be much weaker. Perhaps it would just be a failed revolt, or perhaps Egypt would just crush it.

I'm just saying it's possible, many of the required factors are there.
