Steam V1.00.09 - Invasion issue and negative logistic

Post by Garush »

Hi everyone !

In my last Warplan Pacific game, I tried landing near Rabaul with a US Corps. Everything was fine until... my ground unit landed in... his own transport. Well, it's like the unit was on the ground, cause i could move on an adjacent ground hex. But the unit is still in « Boat » mode.

The invasion hex had a Coastal defense. I don't know if it may cause this issue.

Another thing : the UK's logistic level is negative. I suppose it's because new unit in the build queue were deployed.

Negative logistics is normal for countries that have to many units...

Basically they are not able to replace them when lost.


Maybe you can't invade a hex with a coastal defense in it?
It is rare that a hex can be invaded and has a coastal defense but that would make sense to me.

How? They are not allowed to produce if there are out of logistics.

For some reason I thought the UK had negative logistics in the 1941 scenario...but that is not the case.

I know it happens to Russia when "forming" units are created IF you have max logistics before that time.
Those don't count against your pool.

Though I thought units being built do.

I think it's because I have build a lot of ground units (division) to help India vs Japanese advance. Since there were already a lot of naval units in the build queue, when these ships went into action, the logistic level went down and finally became negative.

Are you running an old version? Make sure both players update to the latest one. This might have been a bug in an earlier version.

Also you get weird effects IF you upgrade in the middle of a game.

At least I have had really odd things happen when I do that.

Sorry I have to remember now...I stopped doing the upgrade in the middle of a game because of it.

I know I would have weird movement issues...very often ZOCs would not apply as you have seen in another post. But that might have been a different issue.

I have had some rail movement issues.

NOTHING show stopping...so I did not really track it. I will from now on.

I rather you focus on your other game and WP2.
