I just had Midway rebel and declare independence. The only problem is, I'm pretty sure that in the timeframe of the game, Midway had practically zero population that wasn't USN. Even now, with the naval base wrapped up, the population is something like 40 Fish and Wildlife workers and tour guides. I suppose the issue is that it's really the only territory in the game incapable of supporting a permanent population, so there's probably no list of territories, aside from home territories, that can't rebel.

Maybe there's a few colonies that should be flagged as never able to rebel. This would be one of them.
EDIT: And on that note, I just had an event where the USA granted independence to Midway, lol. Ya, fix that too.

On January 20, 1903, the United States Navy opened a radio station in response to complaints from cable company workers about Japanese squatters and poachers. Between 1904 and 1908, President Roosevelt stationed 21 Marines on the island to end wanton destruction of bird life and keep Midway safe as a U.S. possession, protecting the cable station.
this was all that made up the island until 1940 where work began on military structures such as the airbase
unless those japanese squatters and poachers decided to rebel against the cable company and 21 marines i dont see how this island could rebel in any form of way
also once a military base has been stationed there the likelyhood of it rebelling dosent exist because there are no civillians
nobody should be able to fund rebels on the island because there cannot be rebels unless the army decides too (considering the bird count i dont think they will be too bored they got plenty of birds to shoot)
total population was 35 in 1910 and increased to 36 in 1930 (not sure if poachers and squatters are accounted for)

Ok, admittedly this is absurd in the case of Midway, but it is a generic mechanism for possessions. Will see if it is possible to do something about it without adding too much complication. BTW a similar sized island almost had a sort of rebellion in 1941. See the Niahu incident. |

See the Niahu incident. true that a "rebellion" can happend on a small island but in this case around 2/3rds of the island were american marines and the rest was cable company workers or poachers so the likelyhood of a rebellion falls drastically also there is litteraly nothing on the island except birds and a small cable company house |

My favorite instance of failing to capture planes intact is the one that happened at Coral Sea: Two separate flights of three Japanese planes misidentified Yorktown at dusk on the first day of the battle and attempted to land, but were driven off by AA fire (and one plane was shot down).

It maybe should have gone in the suggestions forum rather than bugs. Yeah, the suggestion forum is way more effective. Let's convene a committee and discuss the issue to render a resolution so all future posters can better allocate their concerns to the proper fora. We also need to form an exploratory committee on the appropriate response for failure to do so and how we can better police the forums for people who post incorrectly. Perhaps some type of volunteer enforcement is necessary? rimbecano, we should appoint you as czar of proper reporting. I will talk to the powers that be to endeavor to appoint you this new position, give you the appropriate powers and necessary investigative resources to root out ALL improper postings on this board. No longer shall we have to endure the unendurable! No longer shall we be forced to read about suggestions in the bugs forum! All Hail rimbecano the new Czar of Proper Organized and Orderly Postings, or CPOOP! |

Hey...cool it dizzy - you are going way overboard with the sarcasm and entering insult territory- even if it is not meant as an insult it can certainly be taken that way given the length and tone. We try our best to keep a civil & professional board here, not like some other forums where the 'Wild West' theme is allowed or encouraged. |

Alright. I was just being creatively sarcastic. Sorry. I didn't mean to insult anyone. Apologies.

All Hail rimbecano the new Czar of Proper Organized and Orderly Postings, or CPOOP! All I'm going to do here is point out that I was the OP for this thread and that I was the one that opined that maybe I should have posted it as a suggestion, not a bug. I'm not policing anyone but myself here. |

And I'm going to point out I was not making a personal attack of any kind, just a creatively sarcastic post. So, apologies to the OP. Hope I didn't offend! I'm so unfortunately fluent in sarcasm. Have to find a pill for that.
