European Guantanamo - more info

[Naomi]

I'm here to give more information about my issue.

As I said in the last thread, I had 1 army of 21 corps totalling about 170,000 men. They were facing 2 divisions of field force and 4 divisions of garrision of Britain's in Britain-protected Mecklenburg without a single fight for nearly one year. There were no fleet there for the better part of the no-fight time. However, 20-plus divisions of (neutral) Swedes were stationed there for the whole of the time.

My problem is I started to send orders to move this army away from the protectorate after the first two months of no fight - neither on field nor in the form of siege, but my army was stuck there never inching away from the quagmire and no fight of any sort took place in this quarantine period.

Not till Swedes turned hostile to me my army finally made it out of there. As an additional note, I broke this army into three formations in the hope that, led by leaders with higher initiative ratings (my corps leaders were better than their senior in this regard), these three smaller groups could maneouvre more easily. Scarcely this disintegration had occurred before Sweden issued a DOW. It thus remained unknown to me how large a part such an army division had played in the army's eventual escape from this Guantanamo.

Armies and corps don't actually fight anything. Your 1 army with 21 corps shouldn't have had any men in it since only divisions actually have combat strength. Did you have any divisions there?

Swedes were neutral with respect to Britain as well?

There are perhaps two issues here: the non-fighting and the non-moving. I'd like to look at your save game files in the middle of this situation if you have them handy. Would you mind very much zipping them (.sve and .rep) and sending them to ericbabe@west-civ.com?

Ah. I meant 3 corps each comprising 7 divisions. [:'(]
