Trouble capturing friendly units

Jason Green-Lowe

I'm trying to create additional minor powers that function similarly to the "Neutral_Axis" in ww2global40. For example, if Germany sends a tank into Spanish territory during Germany's non-combat move, then Germany should gain control of the territory and the Spanish units in that territory should be replaced by equivalent German units.

However, this replacement is only working for my Neutral_Axis countries. It is not working for the Spanish. German tanks can enter Spain and take it over on non-combat, but the Spanish units remain Spanish. I do not want the Spanish units to remain Spanish; instead, they should become German.

I have double-checked my game properties, player attachments, territory attachments, and unit attachments. What else could I be missing that is causing the Spanish units to refuse to change sides?

@wc_sumpton Thank you, ensuring there was only one playerAttachment per Player did the trick! The Spanish are now truckling under as ordered.
