Soviet 48th Rifle Division Captures Koenigsburg on July 20, 1941

I don't know if this is something fixable but it's something you probably should know about.

Back in 2023 I had a by-passed Soviet division invade East Prussia. I stopped the game with the version I was on before I saw how far I could go. I believe I was on the current version at the time.

Here is the post about it.

In my current game using version 01.04.01 the same thing has happened and this time the Soviet 48th Rifle Division has captured Koenigsburg on the Jul 20, 1941 turn. As you can see from the included screenshot there are Axis security divisions close by but none ever came for the division. The only thing I did in both games was move the divisions west to cause a German HQ to relocate and then it seems the division was just forgotten by the AI from that point on.

Both games were/are against the Axis AI.

Are you able to reproduce this on the latest game version, v01.04.07?

Gary was never able to improve the AI enough to guarantee it would deal with all the bypassed units. When he turned up the rear area security, it made the AI weaker overall. We didn't want to cripple the AI to make sure it took out all the units. What level is this being played at? At the higher levels it's very rare to see units survive in the rear. We suggest if any of these are left behind, you not take advantage of it. After having recently asked AI to tell me where the United lounge was in the Frankfurt airport, only to have it give me bad info that made me walk an extra mile, I don't feel so bad about our AI (at least I got some extra steps in ).

Sorry for late reply but I never got a message you replied to this. I'm still on 1.04.01 but before my unit could enter the city itself a German unit finally appeared and blocked my way and destroyed my division.
