European Guantanamo

[Naomi]

Can you imagine, or have you experienced, a situation where your men have been locked over many months in a hostile province without being able to fight your foes there, whether on battleground or around the city?

Now a 170,000-strong army of mine is detained in British Mecklenburg and forced to stay peacefully alongside British field force and garrision, coupled with an impressive clutch of Swedes that happened to set foot there but then never proceeded elsewhere.

This situation ever happened to me for a couple of times prior to the latest version, in Switzerland and Berg, which were protectorates, as Mecklenburg now. If the situation confronting me at present is as bugged as before, I guess I shall have to send no less than 30 auto-join orders to all individual divisions and commanders to sneak past the jail borders - which I am not willing to do - leaving the thus empty army and corps counters automatically wiped out afterwards.

I solicit here other ways, which I hope there are, of doing about this quagmire. In the meantime, I may better let my soldiers bite their time and wait on a battle (albeit perhaps remotely probable) in a neighbouring province which allows for their participation as reinforcement.

You're definitely still at war with England, right? Sometimes peace just sneaks up on you.

This has happened to me as well playing Austria and fighting some of the minor states.

How did you do about it? (If not let it be.)

In 1.2.14 there's a chance they're just successfully avoiding combat with you in that province. How many turns does this situation persist? What are the sorts of troops that are avoiding combat with you? Do you have corps / armies in the province? Are there any ships in the province?

If you will, please post these sorts of bug and bug-like reports in the Support area, or for the limited-beta, in the Limited-Beta area. It's easier for other players who are posting issues to find previous posts and (more importantly) I pay much more attention to these sorts of posts when they are in the Support area.

Thanks for your reply. I threw a thread in Limited Beta Feedback, enclosed with additional information about this issue. Why I wrote about it first here is I started to encounter it as early as in the first version.
