PBEM DOW Anomaly

[Hoyt Burrass]

I, as Poland (conquered), Britain, France, and U.S. vs Human Controlled Germany & Slovakia.
In the summer of 1940, the Brits had accumulated enough diplomatic points to declare war on Italy. Since my opponent had shown no inclination to bring the Italians into the war I declared war upon them and began my assault on Libya. Popup messages told me that the Italians were now a member of the Axis and at War with France and England. When I ended the British turn, the game informed me that it was now the Italian turn. I had complete control of the Italians just as if they were now members of the allied alliance. I did nothing and ended the Italian turn, which ended my pbem control, before I was able to conduct the French or US turn.

I believe I can fix this with F1, but thought I should bring it to the attention of the designers.

I have saved games before and after if needed

ok, rrjd1.txt is a .rar file that is the german turn that was sent to me. I opened that turn and DOW'd Italy in Britains turn, moved into Libya and ended the turn, the game went immediately to the Italian turn. When I ended that turn, my turn ended, before France/US turn. rrjd2.txt is the .zip file after my turn ended. Since I'm limited to one file per post, that will be in the next message

[Hoyt Burrass]

here is the second file

[doomtrader]

Thank you.

We will play a game after the weekend

[Hoyt Burrass]

any news on this?

[doomtrader]

Oh, yes

We have make a short play and indeed, there is a special switch when a country that is neutral becomes axis during allied human player turn.
Game gets dizzy then.
We will correct it in the next patch.

[Hoyt Burrass]

Thanks for your response

[doomtrader]

Sorry you have to wait for that, but sometimes I close the threads before reply and forgot to back into them

[Hoyt Burrass]

Please excuse my persistence, but did this get fixed for the 1.201 patch that just came out....I did not notice its mention in the read me.

Thanks in advance

[doomtrader]

No, it will be corrected in the next patch.
