Good morning. I’d like to mention an issue I’m having in my 1938 campaign (no Munich Pact).
In 1938, Ethiopia is occupied by Italy, and Ethiopian partisans appear; however, the Italians and their allies are unable to attack them (I assume this is because Italy is not fully mobilized), yet the Ethiopian partisans are free to move about as they please. Can this be fixed?
Thanks.

Just to confirm, are the Italian units and the partisans both inside of Ethiopia?

There are some rule exceptions that should allow combat within Ethiopia even if Italy is not yet fully mobilized... however since the Ethiopian parent is (I'm going to guess the UK) and the UK and Italy are not yet at war, it could be the case they cannot fight each other because neither parent is fully mobilized and at war with anyone.

I'd need a copy of the campaign and the save file to really understand this, as it can be complicated for my end.

All that being said, there might not be a good/easy fix for this code wise, and the safest bet/workaround is to perhaps have the partisan events set as supply disruption events only (e.g. no partisan unit) until Italy is fully mobilized. Then add units once Italy is mobilized.

Yes, the Italian units and the partisans are within the territory of Ethiopia. I understand the solution; thank you very much.
