My English campaign against Turkey just concluded with a complete victory!

Here are some strange events that have occurred since my last post:

1) The British navy is unable to enter the ports on the palestinian coast(Acre? + 1)?
Why not? This forced me to run my Corps down to Egypt to ship out for Turk
Capital.

2) After a successful manual intercept of a Turk light fleet north of Crete, the Turk
fleet lost 3 ships then appeared in the Turk port on the mainland near Cyprus.
My fleets returned all the way to Alexandria which is where they originated from.

3) I am running the game at the middle difficulty level. When the quarter runs
I noticed that Prussia appears to be getting 44 bonus MP's a turn. If those are
manpower points it will go a long way to explaining why France is being whacked
Prussia.

Thanks

Here's another while I'm thinking about it!
 
The AI for Prussia really seems to be messed up.  I mentioned this in an earlier notice but ---
 
1)  In my current game Prussia has DoW'd GB 3 times now.  The first time they stayed at war about six months then took a no fault peace.  In the other two instances I asked them for a no fault peace the next turn and they took it.  Thats 12 PP they have wasted.
 
2)  I am also getting the Kamikaze attacks that someone else has mentioned.  A single Prussian Corp attacking a stack of 80+ with Napoleon hardly seems a good tactic.  It happened 3 or 4 times during a nine month campaign.

I ve got a few GB kamikaze attacks across the Channel too, sending a single corp with a few guards, or even some Austrian Cav Corp assaulting a french corp..

RE: The kamikaze attacks. Are they desperation attacks to protect the capital? Tell me the nature of those attacks. 1 Prussia vs many French is not good for sure.
The Prussia vs GBR DOWs is puzzling and earlier was explained as a loyal ally of Russia who had DOWd GBR. I'll need to look into this behavior.

RE: The kamikaze attacks. Are they desperation attacks to protect the capital?

Attacked with Napoleon at Berlin, huge victory, killed about 20-30 and lost only 4(?) factors, had 95 in the end. Next month Prussia had to move first, attacked with one corps, 5 units. Kamikaze had a chance to harm the enemy, unlike 5 factors without leader vs 95, Nap, cav sup.
