Corsica. Such an interesting place, who knew?

Post by Dancing Bear »

Hi all
we just had a strange teleport occur at the end of a temporary access, (i.e. 3 months after the termination of a war). In this case, Russian forces in French controlled Wurzburg were teleported to Russian conquored Corsica when the access expired. This seems odd, when mother Russia is not that far away (9 land areas or 7 areas via a land/sea route). (It is 8 land & sea areas from Wurzburg to Corsica).
I recall this was reported previously in 1.02 with an Austrian army. Likely the game should not consider moving forces to conquoured islands when there routes the home country available by land available, even if they have more areas, or the should consider routing across land and sea areas back to the home nation before going isolated islands.

Normally the corps should be removed not teleported. Correct implementation of the rule would be better.

according to how I play in my board games, the russian army should be allowed to stay in Wurzburg as it is not French yet. It shouldt only apply after a white peace. France is just the controling player. I already talked about this earlier.. makes the minors free to anyone at war with Fr.

Yes, the unit should be detroyed after the 3 months period. The teleportation (auto-rapatriation)is the basic rules without the 3 months periods.

Actually, in the original, optional, EiA rule (rule 12.4), city garrisons had to be removed by 3 months, all other forces and depots and depot garrisons by 6 months.  If not removed by 6 months, the forces were stood down/scuttled (destroyed).
