There were no enimies in that sea area though. And I did not see any text. Also the game said it wasn't working correctly.

Same sea box, Japanese coast.

in Japan's return to base step at the end of the first turn, when I hovered a stack of navel units over Tokyo, they had both an x and a crosshair. I couldn't move them anywhere. I had to reboot the game to get it to work again. Any patch coming that will fix this?

This game has to get done soon, or I am asking for a refund. It has been over a year since release. Where's the ai and the 1/2 map scenarios. Matrix should have developed it fully before they released it.
