Can't select any unit

Post by Garush »

Hi Alvaro!

Playing an atypical game (in fact, I never play "classic" games. I think I'm cursed, or really bad. But anyway, let's move on) where I play the allies, and after losing England, Northern Ireland, Iceland and Labrador (yes, I know, that's a lot), I tried to land in (southern) Ireland after declaring war on it.

Yes, I know, the game has been lost for a VERY long time. But I'm the stubborn type and I don't like to give up easily (unlike some of my opponents, unfortunately too many).

In short: I land a unit of US Marines in hex 121, 63.

And then, bug! Not only can I not move the unit (I think the program does not know if the unit landed on the north coast or the south coast), but I also cannot select ANY other unit, regardless of its position on the map, and regardless of its type (land, ship or air unit). In the middle of the turn, it is quite frustrating.

I tried to save the game on the PBEM server and reload it to see if that would unblock the situation, but nothing to do.

This is game #456224 against Ronan14.

Oh yes, I forgot: do you remember the post I made against the use of submarines to surround a naval unit and thus prevent it from being attacked by an enemy surface fleet?

Well there, it's the same thing, with submarines preventing landing ships from positioning themselves on a beach hexagon (for example, the hex north of Dublin). Well, it's less obvious than in my last post: we can say that the presence of submarines prevents us from choosing adjacent beaches to land. But I would have preferred that the submarines intercept said ships (if they find them) and engage in combat rather than blocking several hexagons in this way.

Well, of course, the most important thing is to see if it is possible to unblock the game where I am (still) getting massacred (as usual).

Thank you for looking for the problem. If nothing is possible, too bad: we will start a new game.

My first guess would have been the unit has a ZOC but the hex directly below your unit is not in that ZOC so that removes my guess.

Subs can block beaches but they can be attacked when they do. I wished they were easier to hit though when they are on a beach. In fact change it to nearly 100% and I don't think they will do that any more.

That one bothers me less than surrounding your units.

Select the unit and post this log please.

C:\Users\...user name....\AppData\LocalLow\Kraken Studios\WarPlan\Player.log

Verify what version you have to make sure you have the latest.

Just want to get this right.... you invaded Ireland right?

What it looks like is that you invaded this turn. You should be able to move south.

I reloaded the game for the second time, and there, miracle: I can select other units and make them move. I will be able to continue my turn.

On the other hand, I still can't move the unit that landed in Ireland, but I'll make do.

My version: Steam v1.00.28

I did invade Ireland this turn.

And here is the requested log:

Sorry for the inconvenience, but this is the first time I have encountered such a problem.

The exact same thing happened to me in this situation:

You can replicate it if you landing on those small islands with one unit.
My native language is Spanish, and no English language mastery, sorry.
