Surface TF Stuck in Wormhole

Post by Q-Ball »

The at-start TF-1 is stuck on a specific hex on the map; on Turn 3, I had ordered this TF to Cartagena from just off El Ferrol, but it never got there. No idea why it ended up here near the exit box. I have changed orders and it is not moving, but it is burning fuel. It's likely they will run out and die pretty soon:

Have you tried overing the mouse on the TF icon in the map to see if there is a messagee "off map travel: XX hours"?

PD: my ships going to or comming from URSS ports have "off map travel" up to 160 or 180 hours, so some days "stuck" in that hex before start moving again towards destination.
PDD: Maybe they went there pursuing a nacionales TF that was going Germany?

Indeed - PDD! You can see a Nationalist task force in the box. The Libertad TF starts with enough fuel to travel 1047 hexes, and it seems to be only 207 hexes to Kiel, using the distance tool which may not be reliable when these off-map hexes are involved. The screenshot still shows the TF with enough fuel to travel over 400 hexes.

Will the Kriegsmarine welcome you and allow you to re-fuel at Kiel :)

It's not in the off-max box, and hovering over it, it does not indicated "xxx hours" offmap movement

They are almost out of fuel, and at this point I think are going to die. It's fine because it's vs. the AI, but this should probably be looked at

Players, I would manually move that TF at game start to avoid this

If that TF does not move, it will become fish homes after the CD guns finish firing. Moving it to Gijon was my solution.
Seek peace but keep your gun handy.
