Merging CW and aligned minor CPs

[Courtenay]

I just discovered a minor bug: It is possible to merge CW and Netherlands CPs.

I attach a saved game. Go to the Faeroes Gap. There are several CW CP units there, as well as a 3 point Netherlands CP. If you left click on one of the CW CP units, select naval units, and pick Merge, MWiF will ask if you want to Merge all convoy points. If you say yes, you will get a 15 point CW CP unit and a 3 point Netherlands unit, which is correct. If you say no, though, you will be given the choice of which CP units you want to merge with. Unfortunately, one of the choices you are given is the Netherlands CP unit; you can pick it. If you do so, MWiF will merge the unit have picked and the Netherlands unit. If one then merges all, one is left with an 18 point CW CP unit, and no Netherlands unit, which is not correct.

Note that CW and Netherlands CP units are different: the Netherlands CP units suffer from more severe foreign troop commitment rules, and the CW CPs have ASW factors and the Netherlands units don't.

This is a very low priority item, since if players refrain from using this bug, there is no problem, but it is a bug and should someday be fixed.

Hmmm I've been able to merge cw and minor cp's many times without having to do the intervening step described above. It hadn't occurred to me that it was a bug. I also didn't realize that the minor unit cp's didn't get ASW factors, so it clearly is a problem.

Zartacla,
Netherlands is a different situation than other minors like Poland and Greece who are completely conquered and can be merged directly. Courtenays bug is concerning just Netherlands

yes normally Netherlander is a unconquered minor. and then you can´t merge convoy.

but in your "bugreport" there are limited information. what year is it, have Netherlander been completely conquered



I downloaded the save game and I can confirm that it is a bug. I will make a bug report on the private forum.

don´t know when it will be fixed, as it is not a critical bug

but there are other naval movement bugs, so I assume that it will be fixed when steve get to that area of the codes
