That's great! Shame about the latter part, considering that I feel that the canon is the worst part of the mod, lol.Military coup stuff is currently a bit broken, it shouldn't fire during the war, only if its lost. It will be fixed in the bugfix coming later today. The US will be receiving a full rework in 0.2 as well, with more in-depth paths.
We are sticking to our policy of total adherence to canon though.
