2.3.0 Public Beta Naval Combat Bug.

[rkr1958]

It's a sub combat in the Faeores Gap. The Germans roll a 2 and the allies an 8. The Germans allow the combat to default to sub. They isolate sea box 0 which gives them 11 surprise points. They use 8 surprise points to increase damage against the CW.

The German sub is aborted. The Germans use the 3 remaining surprise points to select a target and get a damage result against the RN heavy cruiser. The second damage is automatically applied to the CP, which is sunk.

I then get a notification that one or both sides do not units to continue the naval combat in the Faeroes Gap.

However, I do NOT get any form to handle the abort of the German u-boat and the phase button stays grayed out.

This seems like a version killing bug to me if I'm understanding and doing things correctly.

+1 on this one.
I'm not able to abort an american sub and thus unable to continue.

At least the missus will appreciate the the pre-christmas time not spent on WIF... [;)]

I came here to report the same (sort of) bug.
Game does never progress beyond any sort of abort digression: after the abort(s) of the initiating side are handled, the continue button is either simply greyed out or does not work (it is then clickable but nothing happens).

Could this be solved with a hot-patch?
With 2.3 we cannot get past this bug and I don't feel much like rolling back to an earlier version...

I have seen this bug for battles in which convoys are involved and all units on the side with convoys are aborted or destroyed.
I have not tried it with non-convoy battles, but I have verified that if some units remain at sea after a battle involving convoys, the battle ends normally.
