Status: offline 		Sirs,

I have an HQ unit moving north out of Alice Springs destination Derby. It moved two hexs on the road north of AS and then took a detour into the desert on a path straight to Derby? Why would it not stay on the road?

Its Op mode is move, strategic movement is not an option. Its future objective is Derby (19).

Thanks

Maybe AB made a usable trail without showing it on the map.

one needs to be chary of long walkies commands. chittagong to akyab for example should be done as two sets. chit to cox then cox to akyab.

if done as chit to akyab the unit will try to cross the river next to cox , instead of from cox. seems quite a bit slower.

Status: offline 		Another curiosity: It is Mar 3, 1942 and I have an operations report that "Wau is occupied by the Allies". My COY unit abandoned it a long time ago, the Japanese did occupy it, and now this message? There are no units in town. Do coast watchers count as occupiers, or can the natives have the Japanese over for lunch?

Any enemy base which has no troops present and is close to your own bases with troops stationed in them, may auto change ownership to you. Clearly the japanese troops have moved out of Wau and you have nearby bases garrisoned with Allied troops.
