Sorry. Yes, I am aware of that display glitch and I've been trying to track it down. Most always you can just reload the turn and it's fine again. I've only seen the blanks, but seeing text there maybe I can track that down. If you or anyone have a reloaded turn that consistently reproduces this ...

In this case I'll just let the picture speak for itself.

This is the case in for all countries. Prior to this it started coming up blank in the conditions column. The checkbox was there, but the conditions were all blank.

No worries, we all started learning this game and this particular computer interface at one point. Most of the basics are relatively simple to grasp, but there are many deeper nuances that take time to master. I recommend you and others review "Suggestions for new players" at https://www ...

not being given the option to besiege


There's no 'option' given. The player must select a unit and then click the "Move Unit Into/Out Of City" button to besiege. I did this with the French units at Ulm and Venice. Units besieging a city have a black box in the top left of the counter. This is ...

I'm having a similar issue, but it's with the newly installed 1.25.03.

Armies not attacking each other isn't the problem in this case. An army moving into an area during the land movement phase and not being given the option to besiege is.

I've had 2 armies sitting on top of enemy garissons ...

Bill

I found the 1.25.03 update and got it setup, then tried the save again and this time there was no problem.

I'll let you know if it crops back up or if something else similar happens.

Thank you

Ok, I do not have version 1.25, should I download that and update the program?

Bill

If you need me to email it to you please advise.

Yes I do have a game save right at the reinforcement phase. It's the following phase where things go wonky.

Yes the British were blockading Marseille. But, I replaced that save several times and not every single time did the british attack Marseille during the naval phase.

The Last update I ...

As the subject says. I have moved 1 infantry corps, 1 artillery corps, 1 guard corps to just north of Parma to declare war on it. During the naval phase of the following turn, the british navy attacks Marseille.

Current disposition of French Army units is as follows:

Napoleon/1 Inf/1 Art/1 Gd ...

Any update on the AI progress?

Ditto

Get tired of trying to read fonts in games that are way too small.

<t> Thank you for the suggestions and tips Gents. It's much appreciated. I forgot how much I really did enjoy this game. Now that I have a bit more time to play, I'm going to learn as much as I can about the ins and outs. Anyone have any suggestions on GOOD tutorials? I still think there are things ...

It is not in the manual, they were added in a patch. They set stockpiling to yes or no. I would advocate not changing them from no until you fully<br/>
understand what they do. If they are set to yes, the base will stockpile that commodity ...

<r> I have looked the manual over, done extensive google searches, but nowhere can I find what the Yes and No means on the port screen. The black arrows point at what I'm referring to. Maybe these 61 year old eyes aren't as sharp as I thought they were.<br/>

<r> Just to give an update, the patrol option worked. The ships no longer retire unless they were in a really bad fight. This is the kind of thing I would expect of my real commanders.

Thank you, someone finally asked ...

The Ammo was the very first thing I checked, it was ful. The TF was supposed to have air cover from another nearby TF, but no idea if that happened or not. The Patrol idea I'll have to try as so far no TF has retired once put on that order.
Thanks for your responses Gents.
