Delaying a conditional event

Tue Jul 17, 2007 2:50 am

Is it possible to activate an action X number of months after another event is triggered?

I am thinking in terms of activating militia if one or more cities are occupied by the English.

For example, Charleston falls on Aug 77, the next month-Sep 77, certain militia regiments are called up within the state. I can make this event without difficulty. However once activated, ideally I then want the militia removed a certain amount of time after the month they were activated-say 3 or 6 months later. Militia appears in Sep 77 and then are removed on Feb 78.

Somehow I need to link x number of months delay to a previous activated event. I have seen a number of "count" commands but I haven't seen a "countturn" command. Although maybe that would work????

So is it possible?
