Switzerland attacked

[PvtBenjamin]

I'm playing an Axis opponent who attacked Switzerland ( fall '40), first time for this for me. I can't find anything in the manual that specifically says what the repercussions are. It does say the following.

"Allied declarations of war on Ireland, Axis declarations of war against Spain, or anyone’s declarations of war against Switzerland will trigger severe National Morale penalties to the aggressor"

I see no decease in German national morale but Italy took an 8% hit.

Also I wondering what the Diplomatic rules are.

Does anyone know?

thanks

sorry I dont know what that means other than the two popups

I was a FORTRAN programmer in the early 80's but that was the early 80's [8D]

German Gov't political Standing affected but how. I think the US went 20-30% towards allies but am wondering if any other countries were affected.

the manual says "severe National Morale penalties to the aggressor" but German national morale didn't change

ahh nm is morale -3500 what does 3500 equate to in %

thanks again

I just started an AI game as Axis and declared war on Switzerland. German National Morale went down 3% I don't consider that severe.

I think Diplomacy went towards Allies for several countries, US +16%.

Its not really that important just wondering exact affects.

I have no experience in programming so that is not an issue, but I know what all the lines are, but you don't have to. I highlighted it in red for you, Germany goes -3500, Italy goes -2500.

Mouse over the bars in this screen clip and you will see the NM Level. I agree with you that these are not really severe penalties [8% Italians might be considered heavy, but 2% Germans probably is difficult to notice].
