Playing a game in 2.7.1 but it happens in later versions as well. FIC and pacific colonies are the only colonies that go Free French. Axis get option to give Belgium Congo to Japan, Italy or Germany. After this selection game asks to rebase every French ship in Vichy territory to a CW port even the BB in Metro France. Vichy ends up without a single ship. Have tested it a few times and we can only proceed the game if we make Belgium Congo Free France. Cannot remember having this issue previously.

Can someone have a look at the save and possibly correct? Save is from reform units.

Any help to progress would be muchly appreciated.

Sorry, a bit thick today. What is it that you need changed? You proceeded and now want the Belgian Congo set back to being controlled by whom?

The save is just prior to Vichy creation so the issue can be recreated. If you enter the rolls to make FIC Free France and everything else Vichy you will recreate the issue where every ship currently in Vichy territory and Mainland Vichy and France has to be rebased to a Commonwealth controlled port. No die rolls to see who owns ships or anything. Vichy France ends up with no ships.

What should happen is every ship in Vichy controlled territory should stay in place. French ships in mainland France should under go a die roll to determine controller or whether destroyed or not. Basically if Belgium Congo is not controlled by Free France the Vichy recreation is screwed up.

I would like the actual game fixed to prevent this major bug. As well I would like a solution as to how to correct this save file in version 2.7.1 so as the game can continue.

The bug will have to wait for Steve. I think the best way to fix the game in progress is using set die rolls, repeat what you did for Vichy but make Belgian Congo FF. Then before the end of the next turn, post a save and I can change the Congo to the control of the Axis power you would like. At the end of that turn, the Congo should be announced as conquered by that power. By the rules it should actually be aligned with that power, but that's likely as close as we can get.

Its ok, we have decided to work around it. Ill send down a German div to take over the Belgium Congo but still leaves all the other Equitorial countries as free French. When japs take over FIC this may cause a problems with new French home country

This should have been fixed by 02.08.09.00.

I'll check again using your saved game.

I ran through this today and the problem no longer occurs: version 02.08.09.04 or later (for sure, perhaps earlier too).
