1.08.2 bug

[Sabre21]

Playing the Global War scenario in solitaire mode using patch 1.08.2 I started a new game. On the second impulse after the CW and France declare war on Germany I elect to place reserves.

I am able to place the German Berlin unit but I am unable to place the Kiel unit into Kiel even though there are no ground units there. I can place in an adjacent hex, but if I do then pick the unit back up and place it into a different adjacent hex I get a game crash. I should have been able to place the unit in Kiel to begin with.

Screenshot and attached game below.

Here is the savegame for the above bug.

Load the game and the reserve unit tray should pop up for the Germans. Place the Berlin unit then try and place the Kiel unit in Kiel and then place it in an adjacent hex, pick it back up and place it in a different adjacent hex. Should crash. I duplicated this twice.

Your saved game is damaged because the version with which you saved the game messed up the placement of off-city hexes. I ran a couple of tests setting up the German reserves in the second impulse and Kiel worked fine - just like Berlin and Konigsberg.

Try having the Commonwealth and France DOW German with 1.0.8.3 - the problem shouldn't occur, unless I am sadly[:(] mistaken.

Bill and I ran a Global war netplay game today using 1.08.3 and he had the very same exact problem placing the reserve Kiel unit as I had in my solitaire game.

We used a previous setup savegame that was created under 1.07. After we loaded it, we immediately saved it to 1.08.3. Then we reloaded it and began playing.
