No Surrender?

[marion61]

I'm not sure what happened when my units attacked Reggio Calabira, but the brigade and the division trapped in the city did not surrender even tho I've had them isolated two turns. I had both ferries blocked and units on three sides and they routed instead of surrendered like the flak did. They routed to Cosenza and I'm don't understand how. This is a server game, and I took a couple of screen shots. I've never had that happen before and I was curious how they got out.

This is a server game and it's turn 4. I didn't include a save because I already processed the turn.

This is where they routed to.

Do you have a save you can post from before the unit was routed?

[marion61]

I knew you were going to ask for that. Now I have to embarrass myself and ask how to do that off the server? Once I get back into my turn can I access the save then? This is my first server game.

I think that this was a problem with the early release of WitE?

If it was in fact isolated for 2 turns, then it shouldn't have routed away. I was able to download the save game off the server as we can go 1 player turn back. So I'm looking at the start of turn 4 save before you attacked. We'll see if we can figure out what went wrong as it does look like the units should be isolated.

I was able to duplicate this, so Gary will take a look. Thanks for alerting us before you went to far forward in your server game.

Gary figured this out and it should be fixed in the next patch. The fact that Messina was open to Axis shipping meant that the supply trace went from Axis ports to Messina and then over the ferry to Reggio. The units in the ferry were not stopping this over the ferry trace as it should have. It will be fixed in the first patch. Those units should have been destroyed.

Thank you, at least now I know I'm not crazy.
