[SwollenGoat]

Is there an Operation Torch series of events in AoD and,if so,where can I find it?

if not,has anyone written some that i can plug in to fix this problem and where can I find that stuff?

ive never,even once,seen Torch fire in AoD ...............

Thanks

You got
########################
#Operation Torch -Negotiations with Darlan ver. A
#by JRaup -Sleep in 44
########################

event = {
id = 983
random = no
persistent = no
country = USA

you find it in the vichy_new.txt

I've also never seen it fire. I feel like it might only be for the USA AI and they need a certain amount of transport ships before it triggers

Thank much

Was looking in Vichy and USA file..........

Will this event fire the whole Torch event?

And does 'Army = 50" mean JUST inf or all combined units?

It seems way too high,either way,and Im guessing it doesn't fire because of that...........maybe "Army = 24" might work better?

Thanks again yall

It means the entire army, but onlly those units on the map including exp forces to the USA but excluding any units in redeployment. It is reasonable safe to say that army = 50 will be met. Having enough transports is more likely to cause for it not to fire. I have seen the event fire often enough.

In august 1941 the usa have 24 transports. So if they donnot lose too many before january 1942 the event should trigger. There are 2 big reason for it not to fire. Vichy may have joined axis. Then the event is obsolete. Or Italy has lost Lybia. Then the event is also a bit obsolete.

Interesting

Does the AI USA take a lot of exp units?

Looks like maybe Ive been unlucky enough to see pretty much every game Ive played fail to meet at least one of the triggers..........though never the 'at war with Vichy' one that early.......

Thanks

Probably not, this more relevant for the UK and Germany.

Well,if they don't take a lot,50 units seems kind of high for them.

Guess Im going to have to run a few games and see what they get up to when left alone to figure out why it wont fire.

Ill let yall know what I find out.

I'd like to have clarified if you guys are discussing the event when USA get Casablanca because choice is to negotiate with Darlan? From the event name, it sounds that is what is being discussed. While I have had it fire often (I always have many TPs) I am confused because the event I have described is not really the Torch landings (in spite of the event name) but rather the political arrangement made with Darlan that stopped further resistance to the Torch Landings (which were 3 main areas - Casablanca, Oran and Algiers).

The game event I got did not include anything more than USA gets Casablanca area. It did not include Oran or Algiers. So, is this one and the same event, or is there a second different event dealing with the N. Africa coast?

 

[Mr_B0narpte]

I so rarely see the event I'm not sure what happens, but the USA getting the Casablanca area sounds about right. I guess online it's normally taken by the UK player before it gets to that stage; as you can get Vichy into the Axis (or just annex it for the metal).

 

[Pang Bingxun]

It is just the event where Darlan accepts or resists. But the USA as AI are eager to use the opening there or create an opening if Darlan resists.

mostly the torch event line does not fire due to the italians having been kicked out of libya before 42 as they are too weak to prevent this unless the uk ai or player is... inept
