Re: New version?


Buff, there are pretty many bugs in the game and it is difficult to say whether they are older ones reborn or just very similar.

Also, I have reported some but no way all of the bugs I have encountered, too much work. And I have pretty bad memory, so I wont probably remember all.

Re: OOS TERR bug?



Not a bug.

The territorial would be tracing overseas to Cairo. And then Cairo would be tracing overseas to a city in Germany (or Italy). That is two overseas paths for reaching supply - which isn't permitted by the rules.


Sorry Steve, but it is a bug. See the FAQ of the game. (...) conquered ...

Re: Rules Experts Needed. Shattered Units Destroyed Because of No Retreat.


Balbo is also in France so it's not impossible he helped get units into Vichy and then moved out.

I looked at the saved gave and recreated the die rolls to get the B results.

Re: CW Units Halved in Attack When They Shouldn't Be.


Thanks guys. Then I'll retitle this as a bug and leave it for Steve.

The map does not display the river that borders the hex (108, 153) to its NE and East. The data file for Hexside Borders does include the river. Hence the divide by 2 for the attacking Australian corps.

Sorry about that. :oops ...

I had the maximum distance for isolated supply as 50 hexes but the calculation time was excessive.
Currently it is 10 hexes.

Notional units have a supply path distance maximum of 19 hexes (so most coastlines have non-zero notional units).

Version 4.2.2 (debug)

I tested this many times.

Fly only CW planes. If you attack only La Spezia, there is air combat. But if Brest chooses avoid combat, there is no combat in Brest or La Spezia.

I agree with Brian here. The key rules are:

However, if an Allied unit enters Metropolitan Vichy France, Vichy France becomes hostile to that unit's controlling major power. [That’s how Vichy becomes hostile]

If Vichy France is active and hostile to any major ...

Of course, weather doesnt count for the length of the path


It counts when getting supply from a HQ but not from a city?


Besides, the path is unlimited so they dont need to relay to an HQ, although they can do if you want but they anyway need to reach a primary.
