Return of POWs from Russia

This event requires Brest-Litovsk event for Russia to be added with a new command trigger.

event = {
id = 111018
random = no
country = AUS
name = "Return of Prisoners of War from Russia"
desc ="After Bolsheviks took power in Russia and signed a peace treaty of Brest-Litovsk, thousands of Austro-Hungarian POWs returned from Russia and were very soon incorporated back into army units. Theese soldiers however were more prone to mutiny and caused a significant amount of trouble, as they had been convinced war was over for them when they fell into captivity and didn`t accept idea of army discipline and front life lightly."
style = 0

action_a = { name = "Incorporate them into units as soon as possible!"
command = { type = manpowerpool value = 250 }
command = { type = reliability which = infantry value = -1 }
command = { type = max_elan which = infantry value = -2 }
command = { type = reliability which = cavalry value = -1 }
command = { type = max_elan which = cavalry value = -2 }
command = { type = reliability which = dragoon value = -1 }
command = { type = max_elan which = dragoon value = -2 }
}
action_b = { name = "No, they will infect the army with bolshevism!"
command = { }
}
}

Comments?

Also does anbody knows did German POWs stir trouble upon arrival from Russia as well?

If they are not brought into the army, then I'd think they would help spread communism elsewhere. Raised militancy and shift of ideals to communism and socialism might be the effect. Also I doubt officers would be happy to see returned POWs not to be used by the army.

Good idea this about officers. But returned POWs weren`t really pro-communist. That is just something ruling circles though they were or were accusing them of being once they started causing trouble. Most was just fed-up and disilusioned with the war.

When I was testing this event, manpower was rarely boosted up by more than symbolic numbers and never even close to 250. Anybody has any ideas why is that so?

Maybe you should think about setting the dominant issue to Pacifism or Anti-Military for lower classes if the POWs are sent home. Much more realistic than tinkering with militancy, since they weren't professional agitators.

Question

About Austria in this scenario. Shouldn't Austria be Austria-Hungary? There's a shield for Austria Hungary in the C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Victoria\gfx\map\shields region. But no battle flag, so I'm assuming they couldn't finish it in time. I got the shield working, but all Austro-Hungarian units have no battle flag. Sorry if this was already brought up.

Thnx.
