Hi, there seems to be some crazy behavior regarding the use of computer controlled zones:

1) Have a bomber group of B-25's in Los Angeles attached to SW Pacific that the computer keeps taking control of. I keep switching it back to human control but the computer takes it back next turn. If I switch the HQ and make it human control, the computer switches the HQ back and then takes control.

2) I evaced the 93BG from PI by switching the HQ and eventually getting it to Noumea. Due to damaged aircraft the group got split up. The AI turned one of the group's sections to ABDA. When I eventually combined the unit back into one group it switched the entire group to ABDA. I manually switch the group back to South Pacific and it is switched back to ABDA the next turn.

3) Random ship problems. I have human controlled TF's in computer controlled zones that seem to have their orders changed. I formed a TF of 2 AP's from a PI base, changed the homebase to Brisbane, and clicked return to Brisbane. Saw the little yellow line of hexes to Brisbane clicked Next Turn. Ships stayed in port with no movement orders. Seen other examples of similar behavior but cant remember the specifics.

I have the same problem. Put the british and chinese zones under computer control but anything i take control of goes back to computer controll the next turn. I've seen a few of mt TF,s go back and forth over the same two hexes as i keep changing control.[X(] Guess i dont out rank the CMDR in Karachi.

I gave computer, control of all sectors, then I took control of India and Burma. I did not have any real problems.

Are you taking control of units and TF's or are you taking control of bases?
If you are sending your units into computer controled bases, that might be the problem?
It probably does work better if you take control of one of the higher HQ's.

I did note that when I took control of Colombo. I got all the land and air units properly. But the navel air units on board the CVL Hermes in Colombo harbor were still computer controled.

Hi additional problem the computer is auto-disbanding Transport TF's when created at San Fran. please see www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=649375

Can't get the ^&%&^% link to work. It's the Case of the Missing TF thread in general.
