No. You are only allowed to intercept/search with a disorganized unit in the same impulse it became disorganized because it activated to intercept.

[Orm]

Unfortunately I can not get the end of turn production to work as it should. I need to go back to a earlier step in order to try and fix it but, alas, I did not make any such save. And my autosaves have been overwritten by autosaves from other games. Closest save I have is from the beginning of the last impulse.

So should we retire this game or is it worth the effort to recreate the last impulse?

Depends on what the problem is. I have a load of saved games for this game - but is the problem one that won't go away or is it fixable?

Really hate the idea of losing games after so much time and effort - and frankly is really disappointing that fundamental issues are still arising in what is effectively a Hot Seat game.... [:@]

[Orm]

The save I have is the latest one since it was my impulse that was the last made.

I'll will make an attempt then and recreate my last impulse. Some, or most, of the land moves will be different but the combats will be the same.

Then we will see if it is recoverable or not. [:)]
