a) The French and British are still using neutral Switzerland to their advantage.

If this keeps up I'd like the ability to declare war on Switzerland as the CP [;)]

b)A turn after Britain surrendered, I got pop-ups on all there cities being captured (I never invaded). The odd thing was it would not show the complete message, it would say

"The city of London has " or something similar and that was it. The other oddity was that these messages would pop-up at the beginning of every strategic phase afterwards, until I had won the game.

I'll check this Joel.  I don't recall Britain ever surrendering in playtesting.

Britain surrendering? yikes. That did in fact NEVER happen during testing... I know I was never good enough to force that.

I was the CP against the AI.

I conducted a vigourous naval offensive in the Northern Atlantic, so I think I basically starved the Brits into giving up. At no point did I invade any British territory in the home islands or elsewhere. France and Italy and Romania were still gamely staying in the war. (Russia had surrendered previous to the British surrender.)

I basically conducted a East Front first strategy without invading any neutrals.

I have three save games during the course of the game, one illustrating the violation of Swiss neutrality, within a turn or two of Britain's surrender and one after they surrendered.

I've seen on this forum some screenshots of a larger number of VP for the CP then what I ultimately obtained. So I'm not sure the strategy was best for an early or the largest possible victory.

Joel, if that save where there's a violation of Swiss territory repeats and is not after the fact I'd like to see it.

Frank,

The save was unfortunately after the fact, that is I noticed the units in the Swiss hex after the battle resolution and hit the save button at the beginning of the next strategic phase. So I gather that it will be of no use to you?

The hex in-question was the farthest most eastern hex of Switzerland. (I'll double check at home tonight) in case its a simple matter of a hex attribute not being set correctly.

I gather gather from your comment that you are not interested in the save file from after the British surrender?
