U-boat attacks not happening

Post by sveint »

Before I report this as a bug, is there any reason u-boat would not attack a convoy route?
I've got the obvious covered, supply, raid mode, etc.

Also, on some turns, seemingly randomly, supply blockade of Malta does not work? No enemy naval units near, and I did not move my units vs previous turn.
Using the latest scenarios.

Only guess I have is someone turned off the convoy route but it still shows it as having transports on it.

Neither of those 2 functions has changed since......

I just pulled up a game it is working.

I am parked in the SE hex but it should work from any hex.

Wait, you can turn off convoy routes? The main UK ones?

Yes, if you go in the Convoy screen, you can click on a route to disable it.

Thanks, mystery solved.

I was confused by the routes still showing resources sent.

I faced an absolytely nightmare BEF, massive and very well played, I learnt a few things, and I barely got France by September 1940.

Of course, as soon as I saw all those UK and Canadian troops, I built 12 u-boats...

Yes the BEF all in can be massive and successful.
THOUGH if it fails you now see that they are probably in trouble with no MM so the UK is crippled for a while.

Just to delay the Germans overall.

Unless they prevent the fall of France in the end I am not sure it is worth it...and if they do prevent it in 40 the game is over, which is why I don't do that anymore.
