Playing PBEM games of WP and WPP simultaneously. Some odd reporting the last two turns in both games. In WPP the battles in the combat log did not indicate the odds of the attacks. It also did not indicate if there were any supply losses from interdiction of ports, one Allied held, and one Axis held.

In WP in the turn report it listed each convoy attack twice. The results were identical for each report so I am assuming they were duplications. At least I don't remember each raiding fleet or submarine fleet conducting two convoy attacks per turn plus what are the odds of each attack producing the same results.

I took screenshots of the above and if someone can tell me the procedure for reducing them to a size where I can post them, I will do that.

Myself, I am using GIMP to reduce the size of my images.

For convoys if 2 convoys pass through a land they get attacked twice.

As for the logs.... It is impossible not to show the odds. There are no conditions on it.

Could you popup a screen shot so we are on the same page here?

I have reported this but don't know if this is the same thing.

ncc1701e, turns out I have Gimp 2 installed on my old Windows 7 computer. I did a search for how to reduce file size using Gimp but not able to follow the procedure.
Could you post the procedure step by step using Gimp? It has been many years since I used the program. My screenshots are PNGImage. I will also check the link you provided as I don't have Gimp2 installed on my Win 10 PC. Thanks for your help.

Alvaro after looking at the Reports section I can see that what is happening is that there is a convoy attack for each country using that convoy route.
I have another question. In the manual it reads:
"Fleets that end their movement with zero operation points inflict 50% of the damage just like in pursuit combat."

Does this apply when a fleet has moved 48 hexes or also when it is 25 to 47 hexes?

Once I figure out how to reduce the size of the combat log screenshots I will post as they didn't display the odds.

My friend who is playing the Japanese told me that on turn 12 both times we have and are playing WPP by PBEM the Japanese lost 100 production points for no reason. He is send me screenshots which I will also post.

First, this site does not accept PNG. Just open them with Gimp and do Export as JPEG. Lower the quality to 50%. If your file size is below 200Ko, you are go to post them.

I have attached 3 screenshots from the combat log. Note than none of the 3 battles displays any combat odds.

It's missing a couple things. Odd. Do one of these attacks again and post up the error log please.

I am looking at the code and there is literally no way it can't be not entered into the logs.

So get me an error log.

This is the line of code with no conditions on it.

ReportManager.CombatLogAddText("<b>Attacking Units: " + GUIX.OrangeColor(oddsOfAttack.ToString("F0")) + ":1</b>");
//followed by
ReportManager.CombatLogAddText(Utility.String(" ", GUIX.GoldColor(generalAttacker)));

which does show.

By chance is this being run on a Mac?

We are both running Win 10. If it happens again I will check the error log.
