Yes another combat related bug. This one the size of a flying Roach.

Weather Rain in the South China Sea.

Attacked Canton with 3 US land units. Advanced MacArthur HQ, overrunning Japanese Fleet. After going through a few naval interceptions both successful and unsuccessful. The game decided to not finish the last few ships and went on to the next combat slated to be resolved.
Leaving Canton looking like the screenshot.

Not exactly optimal for continuing. I don't foresee a workaround except not to advance. See the problem?

Another thing.
When the ships were being re-based 1 at a time. They were on there own. Any convoys or aircraft in the zero box would not be brought into the combat. Just added information for those not seeing this type of situation before.

Only Subs were used for interception. After each successful interception the routine would ask if navies would stay or abort. Always clicked stay for both sides. Always clicked do not commit subs so it would continue to the next overrun re-base.

Do you want the save before combat? I can not save during overrun/re-base. I did save at the point where you see the screen shot.

OK, no idea if this has been reported or not.

Save game is at combat resolution.

Advance after combat into CANTON and go through all the forced re-basing. I have done this combat 3 times. All 3 times the forced re-base was interrupted. Never at the same time. So just keep doing it til it bugs. Cause it will. Unless you are just lucky.

This is game breaking until it is fixed.

This is a known bug which is on the list for fixing with the naval combat issues. Thanks for the saved game. It might be helpful the moment Steve starts on fixing those bugs (he has more of them regarding problems with interception after naval units get overrun....

Concerning this bug.

Playing solo this particular bug is mostly avoidable. But when playing 2 player. It has forced both sides to compromise. The USA attacks but does not advance after combat. Japan is then to move ships out when its convenient. The fact this has not gotta more attention since it first was reported is sad to say unfortunate.

We tried to continue with both US and Japanese co-existing. That did not turn out well. When Air reorg phase came up. It locked into a continuous loop where we had to close the game out. Picture of error message below.
