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?

; should this be the following, instead?
#VARIABLE_CONDITION= 115 [2] [100] [0]
; Set condition position:
; 1st Line - 1 Axis unit in England OR
; 2nd Line - 0 Allied units in England
#CONDITION_POSITION= 147,77 [20,20] [1,1] [1] [0]
#CONDITION_POSITION= 147,77 [20,20] [0,0] [2] [0]
}

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.

Fair enough.

Thank you for the explanation.

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

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.
