I think there is a big problem or I don't understand anymore. I can't do port blockade anymore.

I have a DD fleet here.

I have another fleet here. To be sure, the fleet do not have transports. Can a fleet with transports do port blockade? I am not sure anymore of the rule. The third fleet is a transport ship.

But going on the Allies side, no port blockade. Supplies are well received.

The only indication is that there is a Port Supply Interdiction on going.
I think there is a problem.

You should be able to. I will check.

You don't have Port Villa in that screenshot to provide recon. I suspect there's an invisible US sub adjacent to Nomea breaking the blockade.

No, I am playing hotseat so I am sure there is no Allies sub around.

Yup, should have seen it's hotseat. Something's broken then as that would blockade in the base game.

To answer kennonlightfoot, this is not only for Noumea. Let's wait a fix before restarting our mirror PBEM games.

Still not working with Beta 5.1. Destroyers, Cruisers, subs can't performed port blockade anymore. Only working with battleships and carriers.

I just tested it. It works. I did a mix of CV, BB, DD, CA and then checked the code.

Delete the beta in case somehow files got mixed up.

This is the actual check code. Your guys must have supply to blockade. Can't chase transports without fuel.

public bool IsBlockadeGroup() {
return kind == Kind.DDGroup || kind == Kind.CAGroup || kind == Kind.BBGroup || kind == Kind.CVLGroup || kind == Kind.CVGroup;
}

I have reinstalled Beta 5.1 to be sure. There is something that I do not understand.

Taking this DD fleet in port (turn 1 hotseat).

Going here.

Clicking next turn, the Allies clearly see a port blockade. Fine.

Now, restarting the game. Turn one, hotseat game. I am taking this DD fleet at sea.

Going here.

Normally in a good position for port blockade.

On the Allies turn, there is no port blockade but a port supply interdiction.

Going on the Axis next turn. My DD fleet is still in supply.

But yet, on the Allies next turn, this is still a port supply interdiction not a port blockade.
I don't understand the difference.
