AA redeployment do not work in PBEM

I have tried to reproduce in hotseat mode but it seems to work fine. This is strange.

But, I am sure now in PBEM that I am losing AAA. I have redeployed one AAA tube in Odessa and now Sebastopol before the arrival of the Germans.

It is correctly shown in the Deployment queue.

But, the next turn of my PBEM, it is no more there. There is a bug somewhere.

I'll check it out but it is the same implementation as hotseat. It just adds to the deployment queue during your turn. So there is no way for it to be erased.

Mmmm - I wonder. In which version this was added? If my opponent has not the same patch level, could it be the problem?

Highly unlikely. The deployment queue is a List that gets ordered by date. The only way to eliminate something is to actually remove it from the list. There is a check for when the timer is < 0 which makes it ready to deploy. You might have accidentally deployed it to a hex you dropped off a unit in. Hard to do since it reads the release of a mouse click but it is possible. Or maybe you thought you put it in. Or it was another game.

Well no, this is because I have lost the AAA from Odessa that I have carefully looked at the one of Sebastopol. Look at the above screenshots:
. First one is the end of my turn on August 1st, 1941
. Second one is the beginning of my turn on August 15th, 1941

Will try to reproduce in hotseat once again.

Alvaro, I confirm there is a problem.

On August 1st, 1941, the game states that the AAA will be available next turn.
On August 15th, 1941, the AAA unit is no more in the Deployment window.

And, now, just uploading my PBEM, on August 29th, 1941, the AAA unit is back!!????

So, I can deploy it but in two turns and this is not explaining why it has disappeared...
