rm,

Weird acts of the leapfrog happen in AI games, both ways. I think it's a built-in hint that PBEM is the way to go.

There was, and in the current release may still be there, a bug where the AI would teleport behind the lines into a city, on the switch from snow to mud in some cases - their camo must have been good . Anyway, Arnaud thinks he killed it, but it is one of those hard to test for bugs as it doesn't happen all the time. If you still have the prior turn, please save it and see what version you are running. If not the very latest, then it probably has been fixed. If it is the latest, please let us know and I will see when Arnaud thought he fixed the teleport/WIR Start Wars version.

Thanks

using version 3.2 downloaded this week

I took a quick look at the readme file, and it "may" have been fixed in a slightly newer version that hasn't been released, as I couldn't find any notes of this prior to 3.2 and there was an entry for what I think was the fix after this. If you have a save game from the turn before it happened, could you send it to me? If not, then we will have to see after the next update is released I guess, or at least until someone sees it happening.

Thanks
