Breaking a siege

Post by Sonny »

If I am besieging a fort and am attacked and defeated are my troops supposed to retreat?

One would think so. However, I just had a turn where my forces were besieging, got attacked and lost four battles (once again the number 4) to the same attacking force - and never was pushed out of the area.

Sonny, if you get a chance, can you take a snap of what you see on the map ?

I got a idea of what is going on, but from the way you are saying it, I am not sure if that is the reason

I wish I could copy the report which shows the four battles in the same area but the data is not selectable in the report.[:(]

Here is the map.

Here is the report. One battle in week 1, two battles in week 2 and another in week 3. All Confederate victories yet my troops were never kicked out.

thank you

it looks like what I was thinking it may be

it looks like it is a fort is attacking the seige, but I have never seen it like this one, for soem reason, one of the last fixes, the City will attack a enemy fort, and you will get the  same forces fighting each turn, over and over again (but I don't see it when a Container is in the hex)

but, that don't have a City, so either what I think it is, is wrong and we got to hunt someplace else, or we got 2 thing that are like what we hunting for

do you still have the save for that turn, or when it is happening ?

if so, can you zip up the two save files and upload it here or send it to me in a PM ?

I don't have any containers. Containers are geekspeak sh*t. I have divisions, corps and armies![:D]

I saved the file when I saw the report and have not played a turn since. Do you want an autosave also? If so which one?

EDIT: Dang, rar files not accepted.
