Personal Event Series: England Surrenders After Vichy

Personal Event Series: England Surrenders After Vichy, Available for Testing

EDIT: Before I proceed, I thought I might offer the entire event string to anyone who'd like to test it out. I've tested it myself a multitude of times, and it works quite well. But do remember that once peace is accepted, it will take a few days for all the consequences to play out...ie, the fate of the Empire and the Allies. The file can be found here...

http://www.freefilehosting.net/?id=pNj1lqvb

simply copy and paste the string into your hoi2.txt event file. A simple way to test the string is to load the 1941 scenario and let 1 day go by, it should fire the next day.

EDIT: The event series concerning the post-Sealion partitioning of Britain and the subsequent Ireland Crisis can be found here. Follow the above instructions, but testing will require either the exact situation or the deletion of trigger for events 400400 & 400408, both of which will have to be manually triggered. Be sure to add Wales to revolt.txt as indicated. Enjoy!

Although there was already a few events dealing with a British surrender to Germany, I felt some event was necessary to give Germany the chance, albeit a small one, for a British surrender in the aftermath of the Battle of France without need for invasion. So I've put together an event series which (hopefully) addresses the major issues of an early British capitulation. The ai chance is, of course, quite small, and obviously the player is unlikely to choose peace, but nevertheless I think the event series I've devised adds a little spice to the game at a particularly interesting and chaotic point in the days following the surrender of France. I'm eager for your comments and criticisms as to how I can make this better.

command = { type = domestic which = interventionism value = 1 }
command = { type = sleepevent which = 400300 } #same event with Churchill as PM, ai_chances 99 and 1 respectively
}
action_b = {

ai_chance = 25

command = { type = trigger which = 400210 }
command = { type = sleepevent which = 400300 } #same event with Churchill as PM, ai_chances 99 and 1 respectively
}
}

This event begins the series provided France has fallen, and Germany is not at war with the USA or USSR (I think it is reasonable to assume England would remain in the conflict regardless of Churchill's status if either country were involved). Choosing to fight on ends the series right there, while option b starts the peace ball a rollin.

event = {
id = 400210
country = GER
random = no

name = "England Asks for an Armistice"
desc = "Our victory in France has convinced London that further resistance is futile! The Swedish ambassador has just informed me that the British wish to discuss ceasefire terms as a precursor to a general armistice! Victory is imminent, but we must be cautious. The British can be unpredictable, and they still possess a formidable navy. We should be prudent with the terms we propose."
style = 0

action_a = {

ai_chance = 60

ai_chance = 40
command = { type = trigger which = 400218 } #Offer Lenient Terms
}
}

event = {
id = 400211
country = GER
random = no

name = "Offer Harsh Terms"
desc = "We shall demand control of the naval bases at Plymouth and Scapa Flow, control of Gibralter, and the rightful return of our colonies abroad from both England and her lackeys. We are also demanding payments of oil and metal as war reparations, and territorial concessions from Belgium and Holland."
style = 0

action_a = {
name = "Offer the terms."
command = { type = trigger which = 400219 } #Germany Offers Harsh Terms
}
}

event = {

style = 0

action_a = {
name = "Offer the terms."
command = { type = trigger which = 400220 } #Germany Offers Lenient Terms
}
}

These events are pretty self-explanatory Also you'll notice later on there are more terms to both the harsh and lenient events.

event = {
id = 400219
country = ENG
random = no

name = "Germany Offers Harsh Terms"
desc = "The terms offered by Germany for an armistice are absolutely ridiculous! They demand the return of their overseas empire as well as military occupation of Plymouth and Scapa Flow. Gibralter is also to be ceded, and we are to make payments of oil and metal as war preparations."

ai_chance = 85
command = { type = dissent value = -2 }
command = { type = trigger which = 400221 } #The War Goes On
command = { type = trigger which = 400222 } #England Rejects Our Terms
}
action_b = {
name = "We have no choice."
ai_chance = 15
command = { type = trigger which = 400223 } #England Surrenders
}
}

event = {
id = 400220
country = ENG
random = no

name = "Germany Offers Lenient Terms"
desc = "The terms offered by Germany are quite generous."
style = 0

action_a = {
name = "We cannot accept these terms."
ai_chance = 15
command = { type = dissent value = 2 }
command = { type = trigger which = 400221 } #The War Goes On
command = { type = trigger which = 400222 } #England Rejects Our Terms
}
action_b = {
name = "These terms are acceptable."
ai_chance = 85
command = { type = trigger which = 400224 } #Peace
}
}

event = {
id = 400221
country = ENG
random = no

name = "The War Goes On!"
desc = "Germany's terms are unnacceptable, and Hitler refuses to revise them. The people long for peace, but not at such a high price. We must fight on."
style = 0

action_a = {
name = "This will be our finest hour"
command = { }
}
}

event = {
id = 400222
country = GER
random = no

name = "England Rejects Our Terms"
desc = "The maniacs in London have rejected our peace offer. If they will not see reason, then they shall see their cities ruined!"
style = 0

action_a = {
name = "Damn!"
command = { type = dissent value = 3 }
}
}

Again, pretty self-explanatory. I should point out that if the AI does chose to pursue peace and Germany offers lenient terms, it is highly likely England will accept the terms. The exact reverse is true for harsh terms, which I feel is realistic given the situation.

Special Note: the last event here, "England Rejects Our Terms," I would be especially glad of some advice as to what other penalties (if any) Germany should have if England rejects peace. After all, the German people were no more eager for a long war than anyone else.

event = {
id = 400223
country = ENG
random = no

name = "England Surrenders"
desc = "The war is over. We are defeated and forced into a humiliating peace as a second-rate power dominated by Germany and its lackeys. We are lucky to maintain our independence, such as it is."
style = 0

action_a = {
name = "What a disaster!"
command = { type = peace which = GER value = 0 }
command = { type = non_aggression which = ENG where = GER }
command = ( type = free_oil value = -50 }
command = { type = free_metal value = -50 }
command = { type = set_domestic which = democratic value = 5 }
command = { type = set_domestic which = political_left value = 0 }
command = { type = set_domestic which = free_market value = 5 }
command = { type = set_domestic which = freedom value = 5 }
command = { type = set_domestic which = professional_army value = 5 }
command = { type = set_domestic which = defense_lobby value = 0 }
command = { type = set_domestic which = interventionism value = 0 }
command = { type = trigger which = 400239 } #England Surrenders
command = { type = trigger which = 400254 } #France chooses
command = { type = sleepevent which = 40422 }
command = { type = sleepevent which = 40423 }
}
}

This is England's "Bitter Peace," the result of accepted harsh terms. Both this and the following lenient peace have further repurcussions for the Empire and the Allies, but I think I've posted enough for now. I'll post them later.

}
}

Again there is more to this series concerning the Empire and the Allies, but enough for now. Please feel free to comment as you please.

 

[unmerged(19063)]

I think the lenient terms are too lenient.

Maybe the return of Germany's colonies, Gibraltar, and a non-aggression pact?

 

[Passivocalia]

A general armistice?

What about an event for "The Daring Flight of Rudolf Hess", in which he lands in England and secures peace? :rofl:

But seriously; these look fun.

 

[invertigo2004]

What about an event for "The Daring Flight of Rudolf Hess", in which he lands in England and secures peace? :rofl:

actually Stony Road has an event for precisely that, only theres no chance for an armistice, Germany just loses Hess as a minister.

I think the lenient terms are too lenient.

Maybe the return of Germany's colonies, Gibraltar, and a non-aggression pact?

there is more to both the harsh and lenient terms in the following events, depending on Germany's allies (the peace is different say if Nationalist Spain fought as well). I didn't post all the events yet because as I went on, it became quite a long string and i figured just getting to the peace would be enough for people to deal with now. In game, the events will play out over 3 or 4 game-days, and its really quite a lot to deal with. Fear not you shall see what evils I have planned for England.

EDIT: Before I proceed, I thought I might offer the entire event string to anyone who'd like to test it out. I've tested it myself a multitude of times, and it works quite well. But do remember that once peace is accepted, it will take a few days for all the consequences to play out...ie, the fate of the Empire and the Allies. The file can be found here...

simply copy and paste the string into your hoi2.txt event file. A simple way to test the string is to load the 1941 scenario and let 1 day go by, it should fire the next day.

 

[unmerged(54088)]

in witch file shall i paste it in?

 

[unmerged(44587)]

I know nothing about writing events (although I'm now getting ideas for events I would like to see) , but IMHO if Edward VIII had still been king then a British surrender would have been more likely than if George VI was king. Sometimes (rarely) it seems this happens in HoI2. Can the event check for this and be more likely to fire if Edward VIII is king?

Cheers.

don't forget to make a copy of the original unmodified hoi2.txt and save it somewhere else...learned the "backup all your files" lesson the hard way myself.

absolutely, as simple as checking to see if Churchill is PM or not. In the trigger section simply add:

headofstate = 1032 #Edward VIII

and then make that event more likely to go for peace by changing the ai_chance of each action.

btw, if you're interested, HOI2Wiki has a fantastic guide for modding events and just about anything else in the game that can be modded. I'm always glad to help, but hey, that's how i learned to mod, trust me, it works.

[invertigo2004]

OK, now on to the consequences of surrender...

Whether the terms are harsh or lenient, a defeated Britain would raise two major issues...What happens to the Allies? What happens to the Empire?

Well I think it fairly reasonable to assume that, without France or Britain, and with no prospect of the USA or USSR joining the fight anytime soon, the remaining Allies would likely make their own peace with Germany. Therefore, here are the consequences for Australia given a harsh peace. Notice there are two separate events to take into account the possible participation of Japan.

And what of England's various puppet states? They end their puppet status, make peace with Germany, and leave the Allies. Note an as yet undiscussed event 400250 "Fate of the Empire" is part of the trigger. This event only happens with a harsh peace, and essentially forces England to decide whether to keep the Empire, and thus risk German exploitation of it, or letting some or all of it go. You'll see it later as it's quite large.

OK, thats enough to deal with for now. I'll move on to the consequences for Belgium, Holland, and finally England with a harsh peace later today. As before, feel free to comment.

I'll be using these events, but I think you should get rid of the Commonwealth territorial concessions, or at the very least give them a chance to fight on. Being thousands of miles out of range for assaulting South Africa or Australia (not to mention logistics of supporting that invasion, in game and IRL), I don't think Germany would be in the position to force either nation to give up land. However, if Japan is involved, then I think, and only then, Australia should have to give up some territory.

However, if Japan is involved, then I think, and only then, Australia should have to give up some territory.

When i originally designed this series (nearly a year ago now), I had options for Australia and the rest of the allies to fight on. Granted, its unrealistic to expect Germany to be able to prosecute a war against Australia or even Canada, but it is equally unrealistic for Australia or even Canada to prosecute a war against Germany. What would be the objective? How do you force each other to give in? Without England, neither side has any real naval capability, which would be the only way to fight that war. Certainly, the Allies would maintain a preponderance of naval strength, but enough to win that war, stretched over thousands of miles of ocean? Where would they base for operations against Germany. Conversely, Germany would have to conquer half the world to get to Australia. It seems to me that peace, however unsavory, is the only realistic option for both sides. Nevertheless, Germany essentially holds the cards here with the military victory, and America would likely pressure the Allies to make peace. I do see your point, however, and struggled with it quite a bit before coming the my present conclusion.

EDIT: I've been thinking....perhaps I should add an American diplomatic intervention, in which Roosevelt steps in, offering to mediate peace without forcing the Allies to give back Germany's old colonies. Of course, Germany could choose to reject this, perhaps resulting in a resumption of war, maybe even US belligerence, forced upon it by an unreasonable Hitler??? In any case, the resumption of war when peace is so close would have to result in major dissent hits for all powers involved.

I do not think England's puppets would care to fight on for it nor the rest of the Commonwealth since they were on the other side of the world. Once the UK surrenders I think the French Resistance would go back to Vichy because they would have no chance.

Maybe Vichy gets Northern France back?
Belgium and Holland would come back too(historicly speaking) since Germany did not annext them or anything. If they did annex some land it wasnt the whole nation but it would be good looking into if Germany did annex Belgium or the Netherland's provences.

I honestly don't think Hitler cared about African colonies. Gibralter would be good for the taking though, it is strategic.

I dont think the terms would be extreamly harsh since the Germans have been steamrolling their enemies so much but maybe in later war with the failures Germany had the terms with be harsher.

I believe that's what happened already. England's puppets bail, and Free France gives up.

Maybe Vichy gets Northern France back?

I have an event for that, just haven't posted it yet

Belgium and Holland would come back too(historicly speaking) since Germany did not annext them or anything. If they did annex some land it wasnt the whole nation but it would be good looking into if Germany did annex Belgium or the Netherland's provences.

Again, I have events for this too.

I honestly don't think Hitler cared about African colonies.

He ranted on about them at some length when griping about Versailles before the war. Whether he cared about them or not, I think he'd have to try for them. Besides, there were plenty of Germans who did care about them.

I dont think the terms would be extreamly harsh since the Germans have been steamrolling their enemies so much but maybe in later war with the failures Germany had the terms with be harsher.

True, but these events are meant to fire shortly after the defeat of France. However, I did design a USA-Germany Cold War in which I used the Harsh Peace elements of this.

OK, now on to the consequences for Belgium and Holland in a harsh peace. These may be a bit controversial, as Hitler never made any mention of territorial demands on either country. First Belgium...

So Germany essentally annexes the Ardennes, and what's left of Belgium becomes the puppet of Germany.

For Holland, there are two possibilities, depending on whether or not Japan joined the Axis. If so, the initial event for Holland will look like this...

Like Belgium, Holland is forced to cede some eastern provinces to Germany, but the major item here is the cession of the East Indies to Japan.

If Japan is not Axis, then the following event fires.

event = {

Either way, Holland gives its Carribean holdings to the United States, and either event will lead to...

That does it for Holland and Belgium. Too much? Too little?

Hadn't really thought about anything like that, although it does seem unrealistic for Britain to leave India totally undefended with Japan still so strong...

yeah, they can't just let Japan take over Asia without any fighting

As you can see, Britain has the choice of dismantling the Empire entirely, not at all, or only key points. While this may seem a bit drastic, I think it is realistic to assume Germany exploitation of a British Empire cowed by the might of the Wehrmacht. Also, I purposefully scripted this event for another reason...a human player who wanted to take England into the Axis would undoubtedly maintain as much of the Empire as possible, weathering the dissent hit and turning the Royal Navy loose on an unsuspecting world!!!


Now things get a little complicated. England must come through on the treaty conditions. However, this can be a bit tricky given the possible makeup of the Axis. I simplified this by assuming 4 primary combinations.

1. Germany alone, or with minor Balkan allies.
2. Germany with Italy.
3. Germany with Nat. Spain
4. Germany with Japan

Of course, there may be various combinations...

1. Germany with Italy & Nat. Spain
2. Germany with Italy & Japan
3. Germany with Nat. Spain & Japan
4. Germany with Italy, Nat. Spain, & Japan

Therefore, I had to make sure I had events that covered these possibilities. They are, after all, the most common makeups of the Axis at this point when considering countries that would have reasonable territorial demands on England. Certainly Hungary and Romania may be Axis by now, but what territory could they gain?

The easiest way to set these events up was not, however, by testing alliances but by territory. Only those territories with conflicting claims (i.e. Gibralter...if Nat. Spain doesn't fight, it goes to Germany) would have to have multiple events. Therefore, since Japan's territorial gains would have no effect on those of the rest of the Axis, there would be no need for every event to test for a German-Japanese Alliance. Thus, there is only 1 event concerning British concessions to Japan.

Essentally, most of Britains holdings in SEAsia and the Far East are turned over to Japan.

Now on to the various European and African concessions. As I've said, these events are scripted irregardless of Japanese participation. So, for a lone German victory...

I added this event simply because I don't feel Hitler would trust a friendly fascist government in England anymore than he did in France or Norway, where both regimes quickly morphed into puppet states. Also, it was an easy way to ensure that an England that accepted a Harsh Peace would stay down.

Well that about does it for the complicated work of a Harsh Peace. I apologize if I've failed to explain it well, it does look a bit scattered, but I promise you the string runs quite smoothly if anyone cares to test it for themselves instead of staring at endless lines of code For those of you who have, please give me some feedback ala "India is defenseless you fool!" hehe

The last bit I have is the resolution of a Lenient Peace, but enough for now.

Any thoughts on a post-Sealion event chain? A neutral puppet?

Eg. Triggers:
-all of Scotland, England, and Wales out of UK control
-Vichy happened
-Germany not at war with USSR, USA

Results:
-Vichy-like event, leaving the UK either neutral under the effective control of Germany
-Split of UK from the empire /release of puppets to oppose Japan?

I'm just thinking of a middle ground between UK surrendering without a German boot on the ground and having to annex the entirety of the UK. With the existing UK BP, you're coming close to annexation anyway.

I'd suggest a custom state, eg. "Manchester England", as the post-war controller of the island, with the surviving UK forces continuing to serve elsewhere in the empire - primarily India and the pacific against Japan.
