Auto-Picking Chit Bug

[tgb]

I just quit our PBEM game because, playing as GB, the game started auto-picking my chits in every battle. I never issued that order, and I don't know if this is a bug that's been reported, but I'm not going to let the computer lose for me (I'm more than capable of losing on my own, thank you.)

Do the game use the option "quick battle" ?

I have fixed a bug that did just what you described. Some battle situations created the need for the computer to step in and I was not cleanly giving control back to the human. This should be fixed in 1.02!

Good news, because chit-picking is an integral part of the game for me, and I don't like having it taken away. Will get back into PBEM when 1.02 is released.

Until patch 1.02 - is there a way to avoid this, like presetting chit-orders or something like that ?

( Just accidentally wiped out the entire egyptian corps. It had attempted 'withdraw' in front of two turkish cav.corps doing 120% persuit loses. Not a pretty sight [:D] )

There really isn't a satisfactory work-around. This could happen in PBEM in several situations. The only thing I can tell you is to wait for the 1.02 BETA which we're really trying to get done. We're trying to get this out in the next week or so! I know that's not the perfect answer but I would hate to give you a speculative work-around!

1.02 BETA in a week or two!?! Thats faster than I dared hope for. I think that's a perfect answer [8D]
Impressive performance mr.Ellis.
Flip side of course that now I have to check this forum by the hour for a sneak preview of the corrected bugs list...

As it turns out, my 'insident' might actually be according to rules of a single minor corps in combat with no standing orders gets a random chit (as described in the manual 11.2.1). - SO SET THOSE ORDERS OUT THERE !!

I just read the combat-report.
Any ideas why ai-chitchosing Egypt-corps with 16i4C
took 3 cavs, as casulties during the combat and finally when breaking, instead of 2i1c ? Its not milits so how come ?
 
Note im not talking about the pursuit.  Which occoured after.

Does the AI treat minor Inf with sub morale as Militia?

[bresh]

Marshall/Richard yould you explain what the bug does ?

So we know if its the same ?
Did it make minors Turkey attacked,choose certain/same chits ?
In our case.(the pbm-game Eske described) 2 battles and same def-chit choosen for both fights, sounded bit odd.

Also Egypt taking all 3 casulties before pursuit on Cav, not any inf. Sounds like some ai-bug ?
