I'm getting messages of reinforcements delayed due to bases being unavailable when the bases have never been lost to the enemy.

My game is in early Feb '42 and it has happened 3 times now. After the third occurence I decided to document it for you:


reinforcement messages for Feb 10th:

APD Stringham arrives at Cristobal
AK Fomalhaut arrives at Balboa
ML No. 202 arrives at Karachi
Vk.A.1 arrives at Batavia
Vk.A.1 sub-groups COMBINING at Batavia
No.211 Sqn RAF arrives at Calcutta
Sorong Engineer Battalion is delayed due to arrival base (Sorong) not available
43rd Construction Regiment arrives at Eastern USA
Bobcats USN Naval Construction Battalion arrives at Balboa
108th/2 Base Force arrives at Aden
1st Bombay Construction Battalion arrives at Bombay
SEARCHING FOR ADJACENT ENEMY UNITS
REASSIGNING TRANSPORT GROUPS

Sorong on Feb 11th:

save attached

I will need the turn before when the message showed.
I can't seem to even find the indicated unit on the map or in the queue in the attached save (for 11 Feb)
Here is the ops report restored from the attached save, but that message isn't shown there either.
APD Stringham arrives at Cristobal
AK Fomalhaut arrives at Balboa

The Sorong Engineer Battalion is a Japanese unit and it is correct to be delayed if Allies still hold Sorong.

There was a bug where the enemy unit would show up on the wrong ops report, but that was fixed in 1108r5

Sorry,

I should have known you would need the turn before.

The report flashes on screen in the scrolling message area at the bottom during the turn resolution and what I copied and pasted from was the Combat Events text file.

I can't remember what unit it was or where it was on the second occurence, but the firt time was at Baker Island very early in the game and I distinctly remember it being listed as the Baker Island Engineer unit, which made me wonder becaue I didn't remember there being such a unit in the Allied force pool.

I'm running r6 so if it was fixed in r5 then something may still be amiss.

Yes, it is the display message. It is being shown to the owner of the base rather than the owner of the unit.
The ops report is correct but not the display.
