Austrian Coup never happens.

[unmerged(174953)]

I took a break from the game and when I came back I decided to start a game as Germany, now the event never happens, and being so I can't fire up the Aunschluss of Austria. I tried on 1.01 and the new beta patch, it never fires during at all.

What I did in these sessions was rebase the planes into the Rhineland and fire the event. Skip the Spanish civil war, I used to control their army in every game. But then the event never happens.

You are aware that this now a 'decision' that you must make for yourself, aren't you? It won't just happen.

Yes I know but the coup event that is a requirement is never completed. I've tried allying Austria but it is always at zero percent. Hmm It happened in my game this time, it looks like I had to make an decision about the Spanish civil war to continue. I tried to skimp out on it seeing as it took away from my manpower.

Sign the Anticomintern pact with Italy.

To the DH developers:
Please simplify the conditions for activation of the Anschluss, or revert it to an event. The fact that the average player does not have absolute control of the triggering factors tr this event is one of the most annoying things I've ever seen happen in HOI2 MODs.

For what it's worth in my game the AI is having trouble as well (late 38 I had to trigger it manually.)

The problem is that Italy often won't sign the pact of steel/end the Stressa Front. - I've often found I had to load up as Italy, take the decision then reload as Germany. It's been a problem for a while now. I'm not sure what exactly causes the Italian AI to take the decision, but something ought to be done to give the Player a greater degree of control - even a 'pressure Italy' decision that costs 200-500 money and prompts the AI to take the decision if relations are over say, 50, would be nice.

I never had problems with that. Italy always signed, Austria always putsched and i like the decision instead of the event.
I find it however slightly annoying that i do the Anschluss and than have to badger Austria to 'return provinces' or what it is so they are really and truely annexed, especially since the probability for that is only a 70% or so. If it were 100%, given me basically the option to have an allied Austria that i also can annex anytime i feel like it, would be great though.

Italy is the problem, they dont sign the pact of steel to end the stressa front so therefore the nazi coup event never occurs which means ancshluss wont activate.

the pact of steel was signed in May 22, 1939 so thats why italy doesnt sign it in 1937 or 1938.

as for the end of the stresa front, when did italy withdrew from the agreement?

aunchluss should fire in march!!!! not may, june, or even December 1938

 

[RiseOrDie]

it seems like the stresa front ended with italys invasion of abysnnia. the in game event dont make sense to be honest.

I've never had a problem with Italy signing the Pact of Steel either. 10 Sign the Anti-Comintern Pact in 36 2) Make Ribbintrop your minister beginning of 37 (he helps a lot with the Coup in Austria) 3) Move a division into each province next to Austria. The signing time for the Pact of Steel is VERY variable. I've had it fire as early as the beginning of 37 and as late as the beginning of 39. Normally it comes in early to mid 38. The Coup and Anuschluss come about 6 months after that. It's just one of those variable events. I think having relations with Italy over 50 helps speed it up but I can't say for sure.
