reinforcement for cut off units

[Shake]

Hi

there´s a problem with cut off russian units. Often when I attack a cut off russian unit there´s a message " .... reinforces 18 th army (the cut off unit) with xxx artillerie" for example. How can it happen ? 18 th army is cut off by my panzercorps.

thank you

Jürgen

Yep, that is one of the oddities the game has always had. It requires a check at the time of combat to see if the unit is surrounded, which is not easy to program. Arnaud made some changes regarding cutoff units, but I think the best he could do on this specific issue was if the unit is at SL 0 it won't have this happen - in other words surrounded at the start of the turn. Even this could be wrong - it may just be replacements won't be sent to these type of units.
