I noted in the hotseat scripts page 3 of mobilization the DEI mobilization allies does not have an activation X. The same occurs in a game I have underway but I did not select. Could you please explain? It appears DEI will not embargo oil. Thanks

Embargo became active in 1/'42 in my game?

Are you referring to this Mobilization_2 script?

It is by default switched to ON, but it can only fire once its date has been reached and other conditions met, e.g. the US at at least 30% mobilization.

Do any of the conditions in the script explain this (essentially the two I've mentioned above)?

Though we also need to consider the DEI's diplomatic status before the embargo is imposed, e.g. if the Axis had been using diplomacy to swing her to them?

US was at 29% which explains late entry. Thanks.
