Sea Lion mobilization towards axis

[Umeu]

In the scripts it says Germany landing 1 unit within 2 hexes of London or Manchester should greatly move Spain and Turkey towards the allies. But when I test it in the game, only taking the cities, not being within a hex or 2 actually mobilizes these countries, and it doesn't even do it consistently. Is there any hidden randomness I'm missing? I thought this was supposed to be a 100% kind of thing?

I'm not sure if it's an error but there is only a 10% chance that Spain and Turkey will move (mobilization2.txt). Spain script below (Turkey is below it in the file).

ok, I see, the trigger part is the chance. I though it was the number in the variable conditions. makes sense then

[El_Condoro]

The [100] in the variable condition is the mobilization of Germany - fully mobilized and not surrendered.

It still seems a bit strange to me that such a significant swing (30-40%) would come down to a small chance. For MP games, especially, I would go with 100% chance of a smaller swing.

I agree, I thought that was how it was already. I was surprised to see the swing was so big.
