In france 1940 there was som reduced strenght event that removed many (10 or more) of my french and english units from the map. I could redeploy them (english units had swimmed back to england?) but they were invisible?

Hmmm, are you talking about Vichy event or "Morale hit" event (after Belgium surrenders)? Can you replicate this issue? Saved game from the turn before this happend would help a lot.

The only thing I remember from the event is that it said somthing about units loosing strenght because germans advanced so quickly or somthing.

I dont have the savegame before the units disappeared/became invisible. It happened again btw (this time with greek units) so its seems to be real issue.

The invisible units became visible if you move a different unit next to it. Ill see if I can get a savegame next time.

Had the same thing happen. Playing the 1939 scenario as Germany. When Italy joined the Axis I used F1 to take human control. I had a bunch of units to deploy my first turn for Italy. As I placed them on the map they were all invisible. When the turn ended and it was Slovakia's turn I could then see all the units I had placed for Italy.

Sorry, I don't have a save game prior to this happening.

Did you play with FOW on?

db99,

I replicated the problem. Moreover, I've found why your units were not visible first turn. This is because you cheated (used F1 screen)! [:D]

Units that are purchased by the AI are by default set to be "invisible", and when AI deploys them, it is calculated whether they are in FOW, if not - they are revealed automatically on deployment.

Units purchased by human player are always visible, so if - at the very same turn - as Italy, purchased new unit yourself and deployed it - you would see it revealed immediately.

FOV recalculation algorithm simply did not take into account changing human/AI control in the middle of the game.

I fixed this bit in 1.20, now the unit will be visible if deployed by human player (rather than purchased), the rest stays the same.

Cool [8D]

Great game by the way. I'm really enjoying it. Appreciate the quick responses in the forums as well. Keep up the good work [:)]
