It was too long ago for me to remember enough to post a full TL, but I played Sweden and managed to conquer Scandinavia, half the USSR and northern Germany by the end in 1949. Unfortunately, the US declared war on me after I annexed the USSR...
If you did that with SMEP, it would be a bad idea. Taking the chance to become Scandinavia when that event triggers gives you more IC.It was too long ago for me to remember enough to post a full TL, but I played Sweden and managed to conquer Scandinavia, half the USSR and northern Germany by the end in 1949.

The Cossack state is the Don-Kuban Union, isn't it?Using the "All the Russia's" mod, as Armenia I conquered Azerbaijan, Georgia and the Transural Republic (Cossack state). Then I joined the Axis and attacked the Turks. While I don't think I would have won without German help it was my troops that captured Istanbul. I annexed Anatolia and gave Istanbul to the Germans.

I did manage to, in an early version, and playing the 1941 scenario, declare war on Germany, and in a blitzkreig offensive take Oslo and Copenhagen, which allowed Scandinavia (the triggers are: the other two Scandinavian states musn't exist, and you must control [not own, necessarily] their would-have-been capital provinces. This applies to Denmark, Norway and Sweden, it's just that who the other two are, and which provinces you must control, changes) to form. I held my own, gradually taking back Norway, and even advancing into Denmark (yes, with the starting troops!), though Finland invaded me. Naturally, the Brits annexed Finland, and thus stole my land.
I was quite satisfied with outmanouvering the Germans, in any case.
Small Enhancements Project. Yes, it's a mod. Now, its fun is a bit hampered by the fact that it haven't done the conversion to Armageddon yet (that is: less countries available for release), but other then that, it is a good mod if you want a better experience, without changing the fundamentals of the game to the degree that, say, CORE, does.What's SMEP? A mod? I've never encountered that event.

Check the Paradox Plaza forums.
Well, I'd disagree, but in any case, the name is just Sweden...Will do, thanks for the tip.
Hmmm... "Scandinavia" still doesn't sound as cool as the Greater Swedish Rike...

And Greater Scandinavian Rige is quite nice, too, even if greater is just the rest of Scandinavia's cores: that is, Finland. I did mod it to grant those cores that Finland has, that Scandinavia hasn't (those cores that the USSR controls), and, also, I copyed Finland's Bitter Peace gains events for Scandinavia: cores on ruined St. Petersburg and Kola! Yay!
By the way, if you like Greater Sweden, you might want to check out Victoria, and the VIP mod... the Estonian, Finnish and Latvian chains for Sweden would fit you quite well, I think.
I bought it off Ginza, but sadly, they don't seem to have it anymore.I don't have Vicky personally, and I can't find it in the stores any more, so I guess I'll have to do without it...
Still, much interesting stuff at Paradox Plaza!

If you do find it, remember to buy Revolutions from the Paradox Webshop: you do want to lead that Super-Sweden from 1836 (or, in theory, from 1000) to 1964, don't you?
And yes, there's a lot of fun stuff: as AH-interested, Kaiserreich and A Peace to end All Peace are of interest, even if they have... problems (bloody Qing China! What is it with HOI2ers and Qing China?!).
I recently contributed a little something to Kaiserreich, actually: I reminded them that Germany might want to partition France (as they can with the UoB), and with Armageddon, which they are moving over to, they have the tags. Even more, with ModNN, they already have nations that, with some changes, are ready to go. Brittany, Normany, Occitan and Neutral (rump) France, here we come!

It's legal. That is, it is Paradox's own downloading-games site, and you pay to download, so I guess so, at least for their own games.Is that legal, or a piracy site?
