Could it be they do not appear because people do leave troops and often 1 unit is enough because of the 5 range?

Maybe the chance is ridiculously low? Or maybe only after a certain year?

But, in Yugoslavia, a minor, this is something pretty normal to find out.

Status: offline 		Is there a way to put partisans only per country i.e. only in Yugoslavia?

Partisans activity if I remember correctly (source When Titans Clashed):
Number one: Yugoslavia
Number two: USSR

I am ok if there are partisans for all majors AND Yugoslavia. But, you are right, some people have complained about partisans in the past. The thing is when I am playing Germans, I am taking all my corps, divisions, ... on the Eastern front because I have no need to do some guerilla warfare in the rear especially in the Balkans. I just find this quite unrealistic.

Whomever it was, they have no business commenting on anything WW2 related.

If I remember well, I think this is partisan everywhere in all minors versus no partisans at all.
That is why I am asking if there is not an option per country.

For the Germans I believe the bulk of those occurred after the occupation. Not sure about Italian losses. I know deaths within Yugoslavia have been estimated as high as 1 million. Though many of those were likely non combat.

There were several open battles between occupation forces and partisans in Yugoslavia. So unlike a lot of resistance me movements the rebels in Yugoslavia weren’t operating ‘underground’. I mention this because handled properly I think WP’s partisan system could do a fantastic job of replicating what happened in a kind of random manner.

By late 1944 they had several Soviet sized field armies and tied down 25 German divisions. Yet in WarPlan the Axis can leave Yugoslavia totally unoccupied.

How difficult would it be for an end user to create a scenario that features the historical Yugoslavia partisan campaign?
I would attempt it myself if it can be done throug the editor.

Some of those partisans, the Croats fought more or less on the Axis side against the Serbs.

I think the problem came from appearance of partisans in North Africa or area where they were almost nothing like Belgium, Netherlands, ...
If there is an option to activate or not partisans per country plus a percentage of spawning occurrence, I think this is solving the problem easily.

Put plenty of partisans in Yugoslavia, Russia, few in Greece, France, Vichy France when occupied by Germans and honestly nothing in Italy. The Italian have more than welcome the arrival of the Allies in Sicily and after.

Status: offline 		Interesting discussion ....

Weren't the impact of partisans different in impact and target between the various regions ?
Yugosolvia basically had a standing guerilla organization which tied up alot of german troops though I'm not really sure why the germans cared other than containment... dont think they were significally impacting supply/resources ....

Most of the other regions were basically harassment of transport/supplies were they not ?

I have poked around.

I can change units all I want...

So Alvaro may set every minor to 0% and put 5%-10% for Yugoslavia.
