Allied Units stuck in IRAQ

[Nirosi]

If you hover over the green and then the brown hexes. Who controls them? Iraq or Italy?

[scout1]

Troops from the West are surround by hexes owned by Italy ....

Troops from the North appear to have more freedom of movement ... hexes owned by Iraq ....

[Nirosi]

If you are surrounded by hexes owned by Italy and are not at war with Italy, that is probably it.

My bet is that if you declare war on Italy, you will be able to move.

[scout1]

I have a problem with this as I am at war with Iraq .... at this point, there should not be restrictions .... I get the rationale relative to Italy ... but why is there a mix of control between Iraq and Italy for Iraq territory ?

[Nirosi]

I can only guess here. But could it be that you took those Iraqi hexes but the Iraqi unit recaptured them?

Minor units can not capture hexes for themselves, they give them to their controlling major power.

But as I say, only a guess.

[scout1]

Iraq troops have been totally passive ... Haven;t moved at all

[Nirosi]

Hum very strange as to why those hexes are Italian then... Beats me:?:

[AlvaroSousa]

How is it 1942 and you are NOT at war with Italy?!?!

[AlvaroSousa]

Ok so now I know what happened.

You ran up to a point that you were out of supply.

Then on the supply turn the hexes converted to Axis control due to not being near a supply source on your turn but being so on their turn.

The conversion went to Italy because Italy controls Iraq and was at war with someone at some time I assume.
