(1) MWIF game play note ...
(2) I've encountered the "Dreaded Unit Move Bug - Let's All Groan" (DUMB-LAG)!!!
(3) So my workaround is (which I used this impulse movement phase) is to switch to version 3.2 at rail movement and then back to version 8.1.0.1 (debug) at land combat declaration (LCD).
(4) I will note that I did experience DUMB-LAG with 8.1.0.1 with a couple of LCDs and land combat resolutions (LCRs); specifically involving HQs in LCD or LCR advance after combat.
(5) While I didn't time them I estimate these lags were 30 to 60 seconds each.
(6) Also, I estimate I encountered maybe a half dozen or so (6+) of them from LCD to LCR.
(7) While frustrating, it was not a severe as the maddening several dozens of DUMB-LAG that I would have encountered if I stuck with 8.1.0.1 (debug) instead of using 3.2 during land movement (LM).
(8) Please note that 8.1.0.1 (debug) is one version less that the last version 8.1.0.1 (beta) release.
(9) However; 8.1.0.1 (debug) was the last version released to us beta testers and includes debug features not included in 8.1.0.1 (beta) released to the general public.
(10) So, I'm sticking with 8.1.0.1 (debug) except for those phases I need to retrograde to 3.2 to avoid DUMB-LAG from driving me absolutely insane!
(11) FYI - switching between 8.1.0.1 (debug) (or any version 4.0+) & 3.2 scrambles trade agreements.
(12) So I handle that by extracting & saving the trade agreement records in 8.1.0.1 (debug), saving them & then copying them back over in my game file when I switch back from 3.2 to 8.1.0.1 (debug).
