For Micheal: Possible Bug air bombing AA units
Hi Micheal,
I believe I've found, along with Obvert, a bug (or a not-wanted-behaviour) concerning AA units.
Already opened a thread in the main forum where we've discussed the matter with Alfred and others. (tm.asp?m=3717174)
I will try to describe the situation we've tested.
the "situation" arises when, in the same hex, are present two opposing stacks of LCUs and there are AA units present in both the stacks.
Both stacks have plenty of supplies and all the close-by supply sources are open.
So, there is NO supply problem.
if you try to ground-bomb the enemy's stack in the contested hex, the AA LCUs will obviously fire at the incoming enemy's bombers.
No matter if the bombers have successfully hit the troops and cause disabled/destroyed devices (visible in the combat report), at the end of the turn, in the op report, you're gonna see the "isolated with no supply" message concerning the AA units present in the stack that has been attacked by the bombers.
Note that, when you open the turn after the resolution, the units (AA LCUs included) are all in a perfect supply status.
The very same AA LCUs have suffered some disabled/destroyed devices during the turn-resolution, devices that do not seem to be related with the bombers' activity (so I assume are due to the penalty check related with the "isolated with no supply" of the op report).
So the problem seems to be that units that fire against the bombers consume ALL their embedded supplies and then are checked by the AI for the "isolated with no supplies" penalty BEFORE the "supply movement phase", thus resulting with NO supplies and so suffering the penalty you've introduced in one of the betas (tm.asp?m=3360927&mpage=1&key=isolated%2Csupply�)
I think this is not WAD, because it can easily lead to an exploitation of these very common situations (stacks facing each other with AA units), where the AA units can easily be destroyed (particularly true for the very small Japanese AA companies that only have very few devices)
My modest opinion is that that "penalty check" should be made AFTER the supply/movement phase or, alternatively, the AA LCUs should use less supplies while firing at the enemy's bombers.
This has been tested by me and Obvert on both sides (japan and allies) and always happen
I believe this would worth a look
Still thanks for all your effort and support!

Here's a save (the "thing" is happening in hex 53:30, near Patna, India)

RE: For Micheal: Possible Bug air bombing AA units
There is another related problem:
Every time that penalty check (isolated with no supply) kicks in, the AA units are set back (AUTOMATICALLY) to "do not take replacements", and I am pretty sure they were all set to "accept replacements".
This will lead into a "loop" where the AA units will get destroyed by this "combo" of supply expenditure against bombers + penalty check + "forced" do not accept replacements.
Thanks

RE: For Micheal: Possible Bug air bombing AA units
I will chip in to say this has occurred on my side as well. Reports of '... isolated with no supply' and then loss of devices after the turn. I haven't yet checked to see if the units revert to taking no replacements after as well. (The one below did not).
This has happened for me not only with AA units but with other artillery during/after a bombardment under the same conditions; when to armies oppose each other in the same hex and a bombardment occurs, the message '...isolated with no supply' shows up and the units are not doing well after the turn. I don't know if this is one of the factors in why I've noticed horrendous losses from my own bombardments in this game with seemingly well matched forces.
In this case this artillery unit was not set to bombard, but suffered (apparently) from counter bombardment, and also got this message. Below is an image of what it looked like after the turn.

RE: For Micheal: Possible Bug air bombing AA units
Some new info to add. These units got the message after a DA in the hex that our two armies both share in India. I've received big disablements in these units after the battle. Still, is this message also showing that the units take extra damage because of the supply check?

On that very same turn i had the following messages (due to air bombing, i guess)

All these units suffered heavily, even if they were NEVER directly targetted by air bombings (so i guess all the devices lost are due to the "penalty" and not to the ground or air-to-ground combat).

The two indipendend AA gun companies suffered the most, being so little, having nearly 90% of their devices destroyed!

RE: For Micheal: Possible Bug air bombing AA units
A little hard to say that they didn't suffer a lot of casualties in the attack (lots of vehicles listed in the combat report for casualties), but the "isolated with no supply" and then perfect supply in the coming turn is pretty telling.

Yes, i think there must be a "routine check" for this penalty that doesn't really work.

RE: For Micheal: Possible Bug air bombing AA units
When it detects isolation, it changes the isolated unit replacement and upgrade options to N in order to conserve supplies.ORIGINAL: GreyJoy
There is another related problem:
Every time that penalty check (isolated with no supply) kicks in, the AA units are set back (AUTOMATICALLY) to "do not take replacements", and I am pretty sure they were all set to "accept replacements".
This will lead into a "loop" where the AA units will get destroyed by this "combo" of supply expenditure against bombers + penalty check + "forced" do not accept replacements.

RE: For Micheal: Possible Bug air bombing AA units
I have loaded and played thru this turn and only 'isolated' messages I see are a few for the Allied player. Which look real as the units have no supply at the end of the turn - they start out with really low supply.ORIGINAL: GreyJoy
Hi Micheal,
I believe I've found, along with Obvert, a bug (or a not-wanted-behaviour) concerning AA units.
Already opened a thread in the main forum where we've discussed the matter with Alfred and others. (tm.asp?m=3717174)
I will try to describe the situation we've tested.
the "situation" arises when, in the same hex, are present two opposing stacks of LCUs and there are AA units present in both the stacks.
Both stacks have plenty of supplies and all the close-by supply sources are open.
So, there is NO supply problem.
if you try to ground-bomb the enemy's stack in the contested hex, the AA LCUs will obviously fire at the incoming enemy's bombers.
No matter if the bombers have successfully hit the troops and cause disabled/destroyed devices (visible in the combat report), at the end of the turn, in the op report, you're gonna see the "isolated with no supply" message concerning the AA units present in the stack that has been attacked by the bombers.
Note that, when you open the turn after the resolution, the units (AA LCUs included) are all in a perfect supply status.
The very same AA LCUs have suffered some disabled/destroyed devices during the turn-resolution, devices that do not seem to be related with the bombers' activity (so I assume are due to the penalty check related with the "isolated with no supply" of the op report).
So the problem seems to be that units that fire against the bombers consume ALL their embedded supplies and then are checked by the AI for the "isolated with no supplies" penalty BEFORE the "supply movement phase", thus resulting with NO supplies and so suffering the penalty you've introduced in one of the betas (tm.asp?m=3360927&mpage=1&key=isolated%2Csupply�)
I think this is not WAD, because it can easily lead to an exploitation of these very common situations (stacks facing each other with AA units), where the AA units can easily be destroyed (particularly true for the very small Japanese AA companies that only have very few devices)
My modest opinion is that that "penalty check" should be made AFTER the supply/movement phase or, alternatively, the AA LCUs should use less supplies while firing at the enemy's bombers.
This has been tested by me and Obvert on both sides (japan and allies) and always happen
I believe this would worth a look
Still thanks for all your effort and support!

Here's a save (the "thing" is happening in hex 53:30, near Patna, India)
26th Group Army isolated with no supply lost 2 device(s)!
200th Chinese Division isolated with no supply lost 3 device(s)!
96th Chinese Division isolated with no supply lost 4 device(s)!
22nd New Chinese Division isolated with no supply lost 4 device(s)!
2nd Reserve Division isolated with no supply lost 4 device(s)!
I play around some more to see if I can reproduce anything.
If a hex is isolated, I would expect all units in hex to be isolated as it does not seem to use the type of unit in determining supply path.

RE: For Micheal: Possible Bug air bombing AA units
Also I noticed that prior to the 'isolation' phase, a stack will try to distribute any excess supply between its units.

"8th Tank Regiment isolated with no supply!"
and after the end of combat the unit resulted completely trashed;
there was no problem of supplies in hex and in theater and all units had good supplies both at the start and at the end of turn
I am really confused by this as I am not getting any isolated message for this unit - I am using 1123x10, but this is a save from 1123x8 which should be okay from this perspective.
The only thing I have noticed (in both this save and earlier one) is that I get the different hexe file message which is expected as I don't have the non-standard hexe files installed. This should not matter as I would expect them to be the same for tracing supply though terrain.

If this message truly applied, then the replacement and upgrade option should have been N. But I see only one in picture has been changed.

I have loaded and played thru this turn and only 'isolated' messages I see are a few for the Allied player. Which look real as the units have no supply at the end of the turn - they start out with really low supply.
26th Group Army isolated with no supply lost 2 device(s)!
200th Chinese Division isolated with no supply lost 3 device(s)!
96th Chinese Division isolated with no supply lost 4 device(s)!
22nd New Chinese Division isolated with no supply lost 4 device(s)!
2nd Reserve Division isolated with no supply lost 4 device(s)!
I play around some more to see if I can reproduce anything.
If a hex is isolated, I would expect all units in hex to be isolated as it does not seem to use the type of unit in determining supply path.
I've never seen this format of messages about losing devices - I like it! Is it new? I didn't locate it in the patch notes (but of course I might have missed it).

It is from verbose messages - used with debug
