Thanks for the information. No doubt that's it. I confess that I was not closely following withdrawals and assumed that all units targeted to leave would just disappear.

Lots of nuance to this game, which is one of the reasons I enjoy it.

<t> I'm in the second half of December '42 playing the Allies and noticed a few turns ago that my political points have dropped to zero and no new accumulation. Must've missed that in the scenario description along the way. I assume this is deliberate but think it's curious that none of the recent ...

<r> Ah, but you're France and have been my agent in this diabolical conspiracy to send Austria to her ruin.<br/>
<br/>
No doubt this is all true in the eyes of our Bonaparte. But then in his eyes I am ultimately responsible for everything from global warming to the world-wide epidemic of bad ...

Nope, just doing full disclosure.

BTW, it looks like we have an Austrian replacement.

<t> We are looking for someone who enjoys a challenge and fast-moving, reliable play to step into a game now in 1812. I'll be honest, it's not a pretty picture for Austria. Our game has been going on for just over 2 years (real time) and is now at a critical stage with all of Europe at war and the ...

<r> A book referenced several times in J. David Markham's Napoleon 101 podcasts as "must reading" is <I><s>[i]</s>The Campaigns of Napoleon<e>[/i]</e></I>, by David G. Chandler (lot's of "Davids" here, if you've noticed!). It is well written and abounds with maps, Napoleonic doctrine and tactical ...

This button was moved to the Reinforcement Phase in one of the early patches.

<t> We're also having a "show-stopper" problem in our PBEM game which popped up just as our group updated to 1.02k.<br/>

<r> <U><s>[u]</s>Winter Supply at Crossing Arrow<e>[/u]</e></U><br/>
<br/>
An English corps in Copenhagen has been receiving supply from a depot in Malmo (Sweden is a British free-state). With the onset of winter, the program now says that this corps is out of supply. Files attached.<br/>

<t> Counter-attacking Besieged Corps Moved to Rural<br/>
<br/>
This has happened twice in our PBEM game to date. A besieged corps unsuccessfully counter-attacked the besieging corps. As a result of the counter-attack, the program moved the besieged corps to the "rural" zone of the same area where ...

<t> "No, port supply source...depot on fleet lost" bug<br/>

This has happened twice in the same PBEM game. A GB one-factor HF had a depot onboard for invasion supply. The depot was suddenly removed and the event recorded (see language above) even though there are at least 2 unblockaded ...

<t> Nelson PP Bug in Blockade Break Situations -<br/>

Duplicate Map Area #'s

There are two sea areas carrying designation 702. They are adjacent to each other in the Baltic: One borders Karlskrona (Sweden) and the other is off Konigsberg (Prussia).

<r> Trade Display Error - <br/>

Just noticed that when running the cursor over the "Trade" icon within the National Statistics box for Britain, the values received by Britain and its trade partners seem to be reversed. Also, it would be great if the display could remain up a few seconds ...

<t> It's certainly possible to envision scenarios both ways, but generally speaking, I agree. If there must be a default rule, take them from the minor's first.<br/>

I support and appreciate the time savings involved in having the program resolve Naval combat in PBEM. But perhaps it would be ...

Thanks, Richard. Your powers of extra-sensory perception seem to be honed to a fine point as a result of the EiANW experience.[;)]

My apologies if this has been answered elsewhere. In PBEM do human players have the ability to assign their own losses in naval combat? And, if not, what protocol does the program use in choosing which fleets & ship types take the hits?

Thanks,
Ron
