Removing Empty Corps

[WJPalmer1]

I'm already completely hooked on this game. My congratulations to the development team!!!!

Following Land combat (as Spain), I moved a victorious, minor corps (Cyrenaica) with 3i into Jaffa, transferred all strength points to the new garrison and then tried to remove the corps. While the red text in the box advises me to "Add forces or remove unit!", I couldn't find a "remove unit" button anywhere on the screen at this point.

I think you can only remove corps as a result of field combat emptying it of factors or during the reinforcement phase. You need to transfer all the I during the next reinforcement where you will see the red X for removing the then empty counter.

If he is not allowed to empty and remove the Corp during that phase the system shouldn't allow him to do it.

I really think he should be able to place all the factors into the city and then remove the marker.

One rule or the other should be enforced by the game.[:-]

It's not allowing him to do it. The rule is being enforced. You cannot empty a corp in Land phase, only in reinforcement. You CAN drop some factors off on depots and cities as you move in Land Phase, just not every single factor.

Unless I misunderstood he said it was letting remove all factors and then not letting him remove the marker. If it forces him to keep 1 pt in the marker its working fine.

As I mentioned above, the game did allow me to empty the corps of strength points during Land Combat and then provided a red message in the text box advising to either "Add Forces or Remove Unit" -- which meant that I was forced to transfer a strength point to the corps in order to move ahead with the game. I was able, of course, to empty the corps during the next reinforcement phase and remove the corps unit, so it wasn't a huge deal. Perhaps the only tweak necessary is to the message provided during Land Combat, which understandably had me searching around for a way to remove the corps at that time.

The text box should have said "Add Forces!" only or shouldn't have allowed you to empty the corps.  In the land phase he system will remove units on its own if you lose the last factor in combat or due to unsuccessful foraging. But you are not allowed to remove a corps counter by detaching its factors. This has to wait until the next reinforcement phase.
