Yeah, you haven't had a bug, therefore it doesn't exist? [&:]

I have dude password from are game and I am doing some research to his lost planes. Some weird things are going on. I have playing the PBEM with out him and setting planes to rest and took all of upgrade and replacement. In a couple of days I willl have some stats to show. Don't really know if they mean any thing, but I think there is some kind of leak. But I think also upgrade and replacements on in the options has some effect to this. I am not sure but I am just working on a hunch. I would say by mid week I will post if my research got any results. So keep up the fight, and lets hope this does not happen to any other games.

Another example...

2305 zero produced.... Only 2 in pool.... Only 801 destroyed...
Less than 670 deployed in air units.... Where are the 832 others ?
(and I do not count the ones that I had at start of my campaign !)

Hi,

You are confusing WiTP_Dude with Richeneu.

Richelieu,

(a) Is your game set to more then one turn (ie 2 day turns etc)?

(b) Do you have A6M2 units showing as Organizing in the Aircraft Reinforcement list?

Hello Mr Frag,
Sorry, I am at work now and cannot send you a save or very precise informations.

But I can say that :

a) I play 1 day turns since the beginning (never played 2+).

b) Yes, I have currently an A6M2 unit showing as organizing (since several days, since I can’t
accumulate sufficient planes to fill it ! It is the first zero Hikotai with 48 planes TOE)

Note that I got many reinforcement units since the problem, but all were Chutais or
Daitai sections (with 9 planes). As I explained it in another thread, my production rate
of 200 / month was sufficient to fill these units as soon as they arrived
(200 / 30 = 6,5 so 13 planes in 2 days cycles.
My A6M2 pool is emptied by the bug every 2 or 3 days only).

I've had the exact same thing happen in a self-mod campaign. I figured the booboo was of my own design, so I just scrapped the game.

I have a similar problem in Scenario 13, head-to-head, started under ver 1.4

However, mine involves the upgrade to the A6M3a's. So far I have lost about 200 from the pool that I can't account for. It seems like it will take 18 planes at a time from the pool but they aren't going to any units.

I have sent before and after turns to Mr. Frag at witp@sympatico.ca

The e-mail I sent to Mr. Frag was returned saying the account was over quota. I'm not very savy about these things, is there something else I should do?

No, it says your message was too large, split it into 2 notes [;)]

Did you disband any of your units before this problem occured?
