Unique Annexation

[Schnee0]

Question: The Anschluss of Austria event enables Germany to annex Austria, AND also gain whatever military units they have avaliable. In all of my tries to reproduce this annexation where you also get the enemies units - they have failed. I have tried it when at war with an enemy and did the usual force annexation (which just gives the provinces while the military units disappear forever). I have tried the event method, which was exactly like the event specified for the Anschluss event (first addcore of the provinces your enemy has, then do the inherit command). Even that did not work!

Could someone enlighten me on how to annex a nation AND keep the military units for your own? Or is this Anschluss Event hardcoded making it impossible?

so for the event you created you have

{type = inherit which = TAG}

not that TAG isnt a real country

Yep. Here is my actual code, its basically supposed to have me (playing as the USA) to inherit Costa Rica.

   #########################################################################
# Claim Them
 #########################################################################
event = { 
	id = 198406
	random = no
	trigger = {
		
	}
	name = "Claim Them"
	desc = "Claim Them"
	style = 0

	action_a = {
		name = "OK"
                       command = { type = addcore which = 286 } #costa rica
	}
}
 #########################################################################
# Annex Them
 #########################################################################
event = { 
	id = 198407
	random = no
	trigger = {
		
	}
	name = "Annex Them"
	desc = "Annex Them"
	style = 0

	action_a = {
		name = "OK"
                       command = { type = inherit which = COS }
	}
}

Check austria.inc, look for civil_war = GER

Yes, this is what allows this to happen with NatChina/ComChina and NatSpain/RepSpain as well (although Spain's is caused by event). Seems odd to have a civil war when there's no war but that's what Paradox calls it.
