The mutineers enjoyed extensive support of French civilians, including railway workers who refused to transport troops to suppress the nascent Calais Soviet. The military headquarters at Calais was occupied and a Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Association twenty thousand strong formed. January 1919 saw sustained and violent mutiny and rioting at the camps around Calais, including the election of a Soldiers’ Council at Valdelièvre (where the rebellious troops fortified the camp against attack. On 09DEC1918 Royal Artillery units in Le Havre rioted and burned down army depots.Ĥ. The troops won and were released from service rapidly, by the thousand.ģ. On 13NOV1918 Shoreham camp experienced a full-scale mutiny over conditions and the slow pace of demobilisation. In Purbright camp in early 1919 machine-gunners of the Guards went on strikeĢ. There were numerous (illegal) military strikes and outright mutinies, for example:ġ. The view that the British military was monolithically loyal to the government is a superficial one that doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
Troops, armoured cars, artillery, tanks and warships were widely deployed to maintain order. OTL even after victory Britain came close to revolution in 1919. we for example don't have a detailed economic system ala victoria 2 to use at our disposal. Kaiserreich for HOI4 uses well the Hearts of Iron 4 engine, and that game is explicitly a war game focused around ww2. There is also the fact that we are bound by the limitations of the game engine. Thus the US civil war as unrealistic stays around because it is fun even if unrealistic. I just wanted to point out that we do recognize some of the more egregious examples of highly improbable things.Įven when we have reworks, we are still bound by things that are just iconic to the mod and the fact we are building a game mod so ie we want things to be fun. Now this doesn't mean that everything is unrealistic? of course not. As an example in 0.7 the Pacific States of America are no longer a secessionist movement but the last bastion of American Democracy, rising up if MacArthur does his coup. I recognize that the US civil war is not realistic in the slightest, though I have tried to make it more plausible seeming. I specificically handle the US countries, but also have my hand in other places such as Egypt, Italy, and Canada and Britain.įirst and foremost the current guiding philosophy is not realism, we are modding for a game after all, but verisimilitude and plausibility. So I am actually one of the main Developers for the KR mod team, at least the current hoi4 incarnation and I would like to say a few things.
