Bizarre and thanks. I wonder whether if you play through to reinforcements, the factory will now get repaired?

I doubt it since I done it from two other autosaves. *sigh* But I'll do it from this one as well to make sure. Onwards and upwards as a wise person once said.

No change for the Chinese factory. It still remains unrepaired.

It was a forlorn hope.

Save the auto-save from just before reinforcements. If the factory problem gets fixed it would be possible to pick the game back up from there.

The test run I did now is not fit to use for continuing our game.

So how we proceed, I think, depends on how the factory will be handled. The fighter, I hope, someone skilled can use the 'debug' feature to organize.

So, out of four games, only Game 2 appears to be free of problems for the moment.

Game 1 - Can't manually route convoys, factory not repaired and unit not showing on the Use Oil list when it should have and now not reorganised.

Games 3 and 4 can't get beyond CW setup due to MadEx's.

This is not a good advertisement for the state of the game.

And game 2 might hit trouble with CW resource routing once that is attempted. I do not think it is tested after the update.

Hence the "for the moment".

Let's not forget, there were problems with convoy routing in the earlier version too, although not as fatal as now.

In game 4 I saved just before MadEx. Can we continue using my save or should I take previous save and redo CW set up without using Production Planning?

If you open the game you saved just before the MadEx and try and continue, what happens? Do you get the MadEx?

I think avoiding Production Planning for now is just postponing things. At some point you are going to need to go into it.

Or it could be that the production planning MadEx is tied to the setup stage and, if we, for once, has a lucky break, the MadEx will not appear if PP is used during the regular game.

Sorry, my misunderstanding. I read your "for the moment" as 'until the issues are fixed'. [:)]

For some obscure reason the US forces has been building up in UK.

Maybe someone read a tourist brochure advertising "sunny beaches"? [:)]

Somehow US Naval forces has been diverted to the Mediterranean.

This is actually a good idea. Because of action limits, it is always nice to some naval units from all three naval powers to cover an emergency somewhere. For example, the French ships have been used, the Med needs to be covered, but the CW has to reinforce the Spanish beachhead after a German attack kills some units. At that point, having some US units in the Med is useful.

I reloaded and continued without any problems. That is the save I sent to everyone.

I saved before clicking continue. When I clickek it I got MadEx.

Gents,

I have a poker tournament to win today and after that I go listen my friend's band (to an Irish pub). I don't think I'm capable leading any armies today [;)]

I know it is a bit late but the world is still wondering how the tournament went. Or at least I am wondering. [:)]

It was a tournament. I was not able to loose much, even if I played like an untrained monkey [;)]
