Has anybody seen this message before?? I just pounded the wazoo out of Port Moresby for the 3rd consecutive day prior to launching an invasion. My task force starts to offload (aggressive commander, patrol/do not retire) the warrior sons of heaven & then this message streaks across the screen. The next turn has the task force slinking home with about 12 squads left ashore to face the inevitable. Is this a bug?? If not, any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong??
Scen. 17 as Japanese started under ver. 2.30. Task force ships suffer no damage (other than normal at sea sys. damage), adequately fuelled at start of invasion turn (no refuelling to eat up points etc), unopposed landing, air superiority, etc
I can't figure this one out. Any suggestions gladly accepted.

So we're at war with the Russkies eh?? I suppose we really ought to invade or something. (Lonnnng pause while studying the map)
Hmmmm... big place ain't it??
