again troubles with gunboats

[spruce]

Hm, gunboats are starting to get on my nerves. This is the second time a Federal gunboat unit did some very annoying things. It sits there in a river province, and my corps that also in the river province is forbidden to move !

Saw also issues with the fact I couldn't capture a river province (a different one then the one I described here above) with a city (I had taken already) - but with a present gunboat. I had to wait nearly a year until the AI moved the gunboat and I was finally able to capture the province.

The unit concerned is gunboat nr 1 (Federal units).

very annoying...

Agree

I have a save and pics posted asking about this and it is being looked at

don't have any advice on how to counter it ?

I build a gunboat and tried to kill the enemy gunboat - but that doesn't work. I lost my gunboat and the enemy gunboat still remained there.
 
Well you just have to wait until that gunboat gets out - I think you can lure it out by sieging another city.
 
btw - I've just beaten the game as the CSA on second Lt (nov. Scen) - I must say the Confederacy was in a better shape early 1865 then the Union - they just stopped attacking me after Jacksons assault on the Union fortresses in West Viginia (see main forum for this thread).

Agreed, I lost both my gunboats as I abandoned a siege with my army thinking that was that but the gunboats failed to move out like I told them. Twice. I didn't think it was a bug but now that I see this, maybe it is.

There is a thread in which this is being discussed.  It is on our list.  Thanks!

the gunboats may of been trapped by the fort ?

I had something like this happen to me during a test today
