When Puppets Fail to React in 1.03 Beta

[Marko Pasha]

I hope this isn't a repeat observation, but I've noted that the puppets of certain nations fail to enter into the war alongside their parent nation. While for Japan and the UK this is not the case, it is for Italian East Africa when formed, as well as the Philippines, a US puppet. Whilst the Allies are going gung ho against the Italians in North Africa, their occupied Ethiopian puppet remains staunchly out of the war, and the same is true for US puppet Philippines. Should not such puppet states also dive into the war once their parent decides the time has come? It appears to be an anomaly.
BTW, love 1.03 beta so far, and congrats to the development team!

Hi, similar issues were present in 1.03 RC1, but should be solved in 1.03 RC2, released 4 days ago.
Are you using 1.03 RC2?
Also, are puppet allied with that nation(this is not automatic, and controlled by several options in misc.txt - see that thread) ?

I haven't upgraded to 1.03 RC2 as yet. I will do that and report back.
Thanks for the info...

Yes, Italian East Africa has fired on the Axis side, and lost. The new patch has been sound, and from a player using Turkey as a test it has been more historically accurate, despite the odd spelling mistake in Turkish. As I live in Istanbul, I am a bit more interested in this issue. I have been doing a twitch stream, which despite my addiction to money "additions", should be a good indicator of how the game is played at normal level: http://www.twitch.tv/markopasha
