DE 802 Not Firing

[lucr41]

Hi,

USA DE 304 (Send Supplies To China Via The Hanoi-Kunming Railway?) fired on scheduled and was answered "Yes" by the AI. There is a corresponding entry in the Military Activity Summary stating "The Allies Send Supplies to China Via the Hanoi-Kunming Railway".

Japanese DE 802 (Shall We Annex Territory From French Indochina) is now supposed to fire on the 15th of July 1940, as DE 304 was responded to positively, Pakhoi is in Axis hands, China and Japan are at war, and Indochina is pro-Allied but neutral.

I am starting the August 30 1940 turn, and the event has not fired. If I browse to Options > Advanced > Scripts > Decision, I still see DE 802 in the list.

I notice that Indochina shows a leaning of 4% toward France. Is this the reason why DE 802 does not fire, because France has already surrendered on April 1940? Since France has already surrendered, then Indochina is technically no longer pro-Allied?

Thanks for this great game!

Here's the relevant script for reference purposes, and I can see the issue: the Strategy Guide says it will fire in July, whereas it will actually fire in September.

Good news is it should therefore be coming shortly. I'm not sure why we have conflicting dates here, but will get it corrected.

Thank you very much for the quick reply. The event did indeed fire after I ended my August 30, 1940 turn.
