Good news and bad news

Netplay is finally working. Yay! Good fun to play against a friend and learning as we go along. We have nearly finished the first round and all is swell. Almost.
Naval combat is not working at all for us in netplay. No problem when we are playing solitaire. Everytime someone succesfully finds the other it goes tits up. Sometimes my program comits Hara-kiri and shuts down but most of the time we both get a frozen assign damage frame.
This happened in the Baltic when the French sneakily tries to get the German convoys to Sweden.
It also happens when the Germaun U-boats gets caught in the Faroes Gap.
Sometimes it is with planes, sometimes without.

Another hick-up was on the turn after Russia claimed Bessarabia, when you get the pop-up to give South Dobruja to Bulgaria and Transylvania to Hungary. When I wanted to declare war on this impulse, as the weather was fine, it did not let me. I clicked on the various nations and checked ok, when it moved on to the next mayor power it still said that Germany declared war but then when all mayor powers were done declaring it was like nothing happened. It did however accept my aligning of Hungary and that went through.

I have emailed a bugsave on the first baltic naval mishap.
