1.05 Beta Observations

VP...back to unattainable by Fr. Prussia which has Uncond to Fr 2x is in 1st place 90%. Master of Europe Fr with every western minor but Den (Ally) Parma (Sp) and Port (Br) incl Poland, Conf of Rhine, Sardinia & Malta is at 64%, Algeria to Egypt conquored. Fr didn't manip early which didn't help. Rs & Au 1 UNCOND each are both 88% in VP. Currently 1/1810.
Unsupplied message from relieved cities continue, but do stop after awhile.
Major POW problem, unclear if cosmetic error or worse. Basically when a nation's troops are captured all prev POW's vanish from screen. i.e. Fr captured Moscow 11 POW's, then captured Well. POW screen shows Well but Russkies gone. Then captured Pruss and Well vanished. Then captured another Brit & Pruss vanished & Well reappeared. If cosmetic error, it affects POW exchange & Generals repatriation. However unknown if PR & Rs vanished were repatriated at wars conclusion.
A.I. Brit navy seemed solid, army very aggressive with endless raids on Fr, captured Bordeaux (no ships) & Amsterdam (burnt every ship) endless attacks on Lille, one on Brest. Ignored Med (1.04.07 Br were very active in Med, FWIW).
Pr AI lost good, somnolent in fact, unlike all earlier Pr. Course their winning, too bad in 1811 I can occupy last 3 provinces & dissolve the nation.
Rus landed north of Stockholm, failed to enter empty city, eventually wandered to an AREA 3 city. Fr eventually occupied capital and all Rus repatriated.
A.I. in N. Afr still pull WITHDRAW despite fact that forfeits capital.
A.I. still refuses to build minor forces.
Except for Brit in general A.I. field activity was abysmal. I don't credit myself any at all, other than fair chit pulling by A.I. Fr wiped out all 3 armies of Pr, Rs & Au with nearly no effort, Russia beaten by 4 corps, then capitals occupied by 3 corps, way too easy.
Spain inactive since 1805, Rs troops in Sweden sat stupidly in empty country for 4 years. Turks were seen to move a corps, to no affect, once.
Created Poland. Both Galicias refused to join.
Clicling on units and garrisons very difficult, particularly in REINFORCEMENT Phase making it hard to place them. Can need to click on Garr 6-8 times to get it to light up.
Has not suffered from click on area to place Corp counter only to have corps marker beam to previosly clicked area. I.E. when clicking on Copenhagen to place Inf Corps the marker instead arrives in Algiers where you had just added Garr SP's.
