Garrisons:
Both the UK and Japan have locked garrisons in home isles. I like the idea but:
Do they have to have garrisons in all provinces, even the ones without a beach and the two british landlocked provinces?
Might it be a good idea to give locked garrisons to Italy's beach provinces? AI Italy is usually equally lousy at garrisoning homeland beaches.

Events:
As US, most of the time I had to manually fire the "Torch"-Events as they wouldn't automatically (something with the division count). Has this been fixed?
I remember that there were Japanese surrender events in DD/Arma, that usually fired more or less correctly, most of the time anyway, if the player took an at least partially historical approach. In AoD I have yet to see them. Does anyone know more about this issue?
When I d-day Europe (US/UK, doesn't matter), I usually already occupy Italy. I don't however get involved in the Balkans (too messy, too difficult terrain). So when Germany surrenders, everything north of the Alpes is going OK, but in Italy, my troops get removed from italian lands, which get restored to italian ownership and I'm still at war with them. :wacko: NB: All they had left were 3-4 VP provinces in Greece/adriatic coast.
It might be appropriate to have an Italian surrender event tied to the german surrender if certain key provinces are already lost (Palermo/Taranto/Rome/Bologna...).
btw, there already is a sudden change of govt from Mussolini to Badoglio, if Italy loses significant territory. That's fine but: it doesn't have any ingame consequences. IIRC the Badoglio government joined the allies and Mussolini set up his italian socialist republic thingy in northern Italy. Is it possible to depict this in-game at all?
So, thanks for any answers/insights.
