In a battle were a HQ reinforces the defending unit, will sea hexes blaock or give any penality??

I have encircled Odessa, but every combat phase the defending HQ sends new units over the sealane, this seems a bit problematic with 700 Axis bombers that will bomb any ship, or lasser crafts that could bee used as a ferry.
Then reinforcing with several divisions and taking them back, is a "bit" strange :)

The routine that does reinforcing doesn't do any sanity checks, so you will see crazy stuff like this.

Saw same thing

I saw the same thing occur with a unit that was completely encircled, like two hexes from the nearest friendly control zone and OKH was reinforcing it with panzer battalions. Then on top of that I hit it with odds up around 35 to 1, he was not in a marsh, and he shrugged it!!! Two turns later he finally folded and surrendered, and wouldn't you know those panzers just disappeared, not a single AFV was present on surrender.
