Just started my first game as Axis for a while. Using the latest official patch I have noticed some odd things.

1. Sometimes when trying to move past/over a friendly unit to occupy a winning battle hex the moving unit shows an odd movement path that is going around
a friendly unit rather than through it. I know this game fairly well and I can not see a reason why this is occurring. I will try to capture a picture
next time I see it.

2. I have seen some of my Fighters refuse to fly escort or intercept even though they should be. In range, have fuel, switched on, 90% strength, >60% readiness.
Other nearby fighters will work with similar stats.

3. I have seen some Ground Support air units lose 2 OP's for a single mission. I think, though am not sure this might be occurring when they are intercepted but do not have an escort.
I might test this one to see what's going on.

Thanks Ill check it out

I have been able to replicate all 3 points above. I have a hotseat saved file that will show all 3 problems within a single attack.

@Alvaro, How can I get this file to you?

@Alvaro, How can I get this file to you?

One way of doing that is to use dropbox. Works like a charm and is free.

@Alvaro, do you want this file?

They have to leave the area not just move 1 hex away from their spot. They have to evacuate enough that it allows the Italians to DoW. So if the French just leave or leave 2 areas of the 3 openings Italy will join the Axis.

@Alvaro, please read the first post in this thread. I have a save game file that will show these 3 bugs. Do you want the file?

If I can find a free video capture software I will try to video my screen.

Ok here is my amateurish attempt at a video

3 problems.

Stuka uses 2 OP's for 1 mission, eligible fighter refuses to escort (or intercept) and units not using correct movement path to captured hex. Enjoy.

I can provide the file.

You did a good job.

Ok not escorting on ground support and using 2 OPs
Land units taking weird turn after a combat.

Got it.

#1 looks like the same issue that was reported here:
https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4750918

You can negate it by moving another unit and then coming back to the problem one.
I find it comes up most turns if there is a lot of combat.

Yeah, I thought you had reported that one before. One picture is worth a thousand words, so true in describing bugs.

@Michael T.
Great vid. I think creating vids are the best when showing bugs. What software are you using? I'm using OBS Studio. It was free. (So is a Youtube account with a gmail account) You'rs looks clearer.

I got the air fixed. I just need the save to look at the land move.

I used OBS as well. It took a while to get the hang of it, but yeah it's a very good method. I did waste a bit of time getting to OBS, I tried 3 other free types before I tried OBS, none of which worked properly. One tried to steal my youtube account details (a chinese software I found out later). So beware.

@Michael T.
Thanks. Will do.
