Move Blocked?

[tgb]

I understand what it means when there's noroom in a city, but what exactly does "move blocked" mean?

[Marshall Ellis]

This could happen if you're in a rural area with an enemy force and you're trying to move.
Tell me some specifics and maybe I can let you know what's going on...

I have seen this Marshall.  It will happen when you fight a field combat, win, and then try to move into a city to set up a siege.  However, I have also seen it when the city is completely empty, and you try and move in a garrison or Corps.

At least that is when I saw it.

Ahh, OK. Did any of the units forage and use unused MPs?
If anyone has a saved game, I would love to see this.

What Suovorov said - I had just won a field battle, and the garrison in the city only had 1 factor in it. I didn't forage because I had a depot set up on a fleet of Heavies off shore. I'll send you the save tonight or tomorrow - what's your email address?

I can't cross the Channel as France in winter with no forces across the sea from me and no fleet blocking the Channel. Move should cost 4 and I have 4 (1 clear + 1 arrow = 2 doubled = 4) [&:]

Do you have Winter Movement option turned on?

I've tested this several times as well.  After a field combat, regardless of whether besieging corps foraged with/withou using excess movement, or in normal supply, I have been unable to enter the city to lay siege to garrisoned factors.  I get the move blocked error.  I've asked my group to see if they can also recreate this, but I have not once been able to besiege an enemy city after winning in the open field.
 
Am I doing something wrong, or is there really a bug here?

Did anybody use the "auto forage" button? That will cause this every time when you have both a field combat and a garrison, IF the forage value of the land space is suffient to feed the troops with movement, for ONE of the attacking corps.
 
Auto-forage forages everything that can safely forage, using all their movement points.
