cant place CW reserves in impulse #2 in global war

Post by wolf14455 »

We started a new Global war this evening and to be sure of not repeating any glitches known from hotseat we shoosed solitaire.
First impulse worked fine but when CW was about to place their reserves we encountered yet another glitch(sorry dev, just a bit irritated) Sydney was the only reserve to be placed. London unit and the rest produced a cross and the txt in the report box said, something like "only place able in London.
I attach save and probably also send my guests home to play another day or play another scenario perhaps.
Love the game non the less.

While the bug report is appreciated, it appears that Hotseat has more bugs than Solitaire.

If playing with a friend, you actually save a lot of clicking, if you simply read the messages, and note the form background color.

I'd recommend restarting your game in Solitaire mode, it does work very well.

Is it possible you had the London MIL plus others "in-hand" rather than trying to place them one at a time?

I just ran a DOW on Germany saved game that I have and I did not encounter this problem.

But when I ran your saved game, the program failed exactly as you described.

I don't know what the problem is but the difference most likely lies in the saved games.

You might try restoring from the DOW on Germany saved game. Or the Axis Air Rebase phase at the end of the first impulse.

Works again, thanx. Thought that culprit being me open German HQ for reorg and decide not to by exit with X instead. But could not reproduce the glitch.
