Hi all - wondering if anyone knows if a region b The Green Knight blu-ray is scheduled to be released in New Zealand and Australia? I'm aware of a couple of European releases, but I prefer to wait until I can buy a region b with my language on the cover. Typically it's be released as Australian, but I can't find one scheduled. Thanks. :)
So, I'm playing my second game as Canada, and feel like I'm barely holding the Entente together. The syndicalists are winning the ACW2 and I really do not think I'll be able to stop them if I intervene. (My first game ended when my attempt to blitz my way to Chicago and seize the midwest ground down into a massive slog. Figured losing all my manpower fighting the CSA ruined my chances of taking Britain.)
I'm also fighting the Boer War, which I should win, but now the syndicalists have come to power in Australasia. The "Australasian Guard" is asking for my support for a coup, and if it fails it means war. I can't fight both the Boer War and the Australasians at once, so if I do start another war then I'll have to ignore the Pacific while I mop up in Africa. I don't know how likely victory would be if they get months and months to prepare their defenses.
Is it basically game over for the Entente if they leave? I'm probably not getting an ally out of the ACW2 AND the Carlists lost the Spanish Civil War in the opening weeks before I could really organize much support. Should I let Australasia go and then shift towards helping the Dominion of India expand? Should I support the coup and start a war even if it means the Australasian syndies have a ton of time to prepare for my invasion? Either way the prospect of retaking the Home Islands seems to be fading into the distance.
Wondering if there is a fleshed out focus tree/path for Jack Lang as leader of a socialist Australasia. Thanks.
So you're telling me, an Australian, that after sending thousands of men and boys to fight and die in a foreign war for a "Mother country" that used us as cannon fodder, mashing together a bunch of countries in Oceania that didn't really want to be together in the first place, then fleeing from their home isles because they fucked up so royally badly they got (rightly) overthrown, and then the fuckers have the gall to come down here, after they sent most of our population to die in a war that had nothing to do with us, and take over, install a foreign governor general as our "leader" and force us to fight for them again to cover up their embarrassment? WHAT?
Australasia's lore doesn't make any sense from an Australian perspective, and I'm going to break down the points specifically that don't make sense and point to what should be done to replace it.
The Formation of Australasia
You might be warranted to ask "would Australia and New Zealand be okay with being the same country?", but the answer to that question is no, because the Australian colonies - modern-day Australia's states - didn't even want to be part of the same country, mostly for the economic interests of the colonial administrators. We only got lumped together because of a rushed, shitty constitution that got thrown together at the last second because we'd been debating federation for almost a decade at that point, and the result is an ineffective bureaucracy that keeps fighting itself. New Zealand didn't want to join Australia because of the belief that this new Oceanic nation would be Australia-dominated - so they opted to go it alone.
Now in KR, the brits come in, and give a big 'ol "fuck you" to Kiwi self-determination and mash all their oceanic colonies together into this new "Australasia". Already not very welcome for reasons I'm gonna discuss down below, the fact that New Zealand separatism and independence isn't a major part of the Australasia experience is unusual to say the least. Even more unusual is the fact that whenever New Zealand does gain independence - it's always as a loyalist puppet to the brits! Why the hell would the guys who had their independence ended by the British side with them?
Australasia is welcoming of the exiles, for whatever reason
In KR, Australasia welcomes the exiles to refuge in the land(s) down under, because... loyal colony serving the mother country, or whatever. What's completely glossed over and swept under the rug is t

I've just started my playthrough of Red Australasia, and after their main coup failed the Australasian Guard took over New Zealand and rejoined the Entente. I am trying to make a naval invasion so I can actually fight them, but even with my significant navy I can't get any naval supremacy over 38%. No enemy ships were out in the sea aside from 2 or 3 convoys, which made me pretty confused until I realized that NatFrance and Canada simply parked their navies in Wellington and are using Strike Force on the Tasman Sea, thus preventing an invasion while not having to actually fight my navy. I have tried sailing my carrier out to NZ and simply naval bombing the harbors, but the planes are not doing a very good job and simply get shot down every time they make a run. Are there any ways I can make the Entente navy come out of their harbors, or possibly naval invade some other way? New Zealand is totally surrounded by the Tasman Sea so invading in a different sea would not help. I don't know how Syndie Australia is supposed to be playable when there are annoying roadblocks like this keeping you from doing the one thing Aussie is supposed to do.
