1.2.0.7 CONV Sentry on Decline Intercept Combat

[BrianSchick]

Hi,

When my CONV and escorts get caught moving through a sea zone and I decline to fight through, if I select Convoy Units only for the Sentry radio button, the CONV units are not sentried.

Do you have a saved game for this - with instructions on how to reproduce?

This is something no one has ever mentioned before.

BrianSchick,
I'm thinking that is you refuse to fight through a sea zone that if the program dumps your units in the sea area that convoy points shouldn't be automatically placed in sentry mode. I haven't refused to fight through a sea area yet so haven't seen what happens. I always assumed you had to return to port instead of being allowed a free, uncontested move into that sea area. I may have to read up on the rules for this possibility so I fully understand the nuances of not fighting through.

I agree. This doesn't seem to be a bug.
