Re: [SOE] DE 1 - AI - Should US Attempt To Liberate The UK

Guys,

Not 100% sure on this, but shouldn't the following be checking that the USA(115) is mobilized and not surrendered instead of UK(112)? (see decision.txt)

Isn't there a possibility that the UK has already surrendered?

Overall I think it's better as it is because then the event fires even if the US is neutral, and will then be enacted when it mobilizes.

[DarkHorse2]

Fair enough.

Thank you for the explanation.

But what happens if the UK has surrendered? Would this event fire then?

[BillRunacre]

The event should fire before the UK surrenders, because it only takes 1 Axis unit in the UK to trigger it, and given that the UK has more than 1 capital, it is practically impossible for this not to fire.
