Since Doomtrader was so quick to say he'd look into the gamey exploit of Luxembourg, I thought, let's try for another:

Nations occupying portions of countries that have just been conquered by the enemy should not be kicked out! Like my poor sappy British, who worked so diligently to take Tripoli, moving down from Tunis. Now when France is conquered, poof, the Italians get it back for free!!??!!??

1) that was idiocy on my part, because I didn't think through the game mechanics properly;
2) that's idiocy on the part of the game.

Easy way to solve part of this: conquered lands should go to the country who actually conquers them, not the country from which they moved. In this case, Tripoli should have been under British control, not the French. And how many of us have done Barbarossa, and seen Romania in control of half of Russia!?

The oppressive policies of the French and British have gained them this casting forth. The peoples of North Africa know the Italians, Germans, and Spanish as partners in progress and sided with them. Years of Imperial domination coming home to rest. Just wait to see what happens when the Indians are offered a chance to participate in the Greater East Aisan Co-prosperity Sphere.

If you can't exploit conquered countries, why bother conquering them! [:)]

gwgardner: This is WAD and I'm thinking about it from time to time.

Chuck, just wait until an enlightened anti-comintern alliance joins hands with 60 million Russian patriots and hunts you like the weasel you are.
If you have any questions about this inescapable outcome, I invite you to take a midnight stroll through Warsaw or Buda-Pest or Prague (or Moscow, for that matter) so that you can get a personal taste of the international solidarity of the laboring masses. With any available cobblestone![;)]
