3/4's of Napoleon's army disappears after British Navy attacks the port of Marseille

[jardail]

As the subject says. I have moved 1 infantry corps, 1 artillery corps, 1 guard corps to just north of Parma to declare war on it. During the naval phase of the following turn, the british navy attacks Marseille.

Current disposition of French Army units is as follows:

Napoleon/1 Inf/1 Art/1 Gd: Lombardy: Milan
Davout/1 inf/1 Depot: Area 427
Soult/1 inf/1 Depot: Mainz
Murat/Ney/Massena/3 inf/1 Cav: Dusseldorf

After the reinforcement phase completes things look MUCH different.

ALL forces on the map appear to have been "beamed" to Genoa.

Pic1 is of the situation at the end of the reinforcement phase.
Pic2 is the situation at the start of the Naval phase.

(SIDE NOTE: I reloaded the game several times and the British Navy does NOT always attack Marseille, however alot of random crap happens after the reinforcement phase. Something is definitely NOT working right)

this is Pic1, situation at end of Reinforcement Phase

Was this with the hotfix #6 release version? Have you got a game save? Thanks.

Update. I am at a loss with this one; never seen anything like this before. I'm assuming the AI Great Britain moved on Marseille, but was it a blockade or a port attack? I'd really like to see a game save if you still have it. Maybe I can figure out what happened.

Yes I do have a game save right at the reinforcement phase. It's the following phase where things go wonky.

Yes the British were blockading Marseille. But, I replaced that save several times and not every single time did the british attack Marseille during the naval phase.

The Last update I have is this.
EmpiresinArms-UpdateComp-v1.24.03

If there's an update after this, it is not in my downloads section.

Lastly, see the attached file for the last save.

If you need me to email it to you please advise.

The good news is that this is not a problem with v1.25.03. I think the AI-AI naval combat bug I worked on back in v1.25.00 may have been the culprit in your case? I was worried that the release version I just sent to Matrix had a major bug! I just posted those files here with everything except the documentation files so you can update from the last official release, or just wait another week or so for this next official update to get released. Anyways, I advanced your game to the French land phase without any issues; Great Britain moved last in the naval phase so I had to check it out to be sure. Thanks!

Ok, I do not have version 1.25, should I download that and update the program?

I found the 1.25.03 update and got it setup, then tried the save again and this time there was no problem.

I'll let you know if it crops back up or if something else similar happens.

Thank you
