Major War in the East 1 Glitch.

[Steve88b]

I am playing the campaign game as the Germans against the AI. On turn 54 I captured the towns of Azov,Manych and Bataysk which should have caused AG South to convert to AGs A and B. This did not happen.
I thought perhaps the change would take place at the beginning of the next turn but again it did not.

Is there any way to fix this problem? Otherwise the game is for obvious reasons unplayable in the south without the extra AG command.

This one seems odd. I've never heard from German players that there is a conversion 'bug' issues concerning the AG's conversion capture locals. Maybe a complaint from a decade ago. Are you on latest upgrade.

And German players love to find faults!

Maybe an AI issue. Keep playing: the issue may resolve soon enough.

The fuel bug doesn’t help either with making this version of WiTE particularly playable. If the game was released for free from Matrix maybe there was no reason to complain. But the price is still quite steep, even in it’s broken and abandoned state.

I purchased the game when it was on sale from Matrix a year ago so I assume it is the latest version.
This problem is more than just a "German player complaint". Without the extra HQ it is impossible to push into the Caucasus which ends the game for me. After hundreds of hours invested this is beyond annoying.

I was planning to buy WitE 2 during the current sale but no longer have the confidence to invest the time in another Matrix game.

Annoying I agree but really! As someone else has said, I've never seen this before.

Can you not rerun the turn?
Are the hexes fully under your control, i.e. the turn after. I can't remember if they appear instantaneously or the turn after. More likely the later as it's an admin function.
The rules also say the event can also occur fisrt trun of March 43 if the capture have not happened.

You don't have to use the Beta, the game is playable without it.

I have been in full control of the three towns that trigger the AG South split for two turns. I had the same thought that the split might happen the turn after capture but it did not.
I plan to play one more turn on the off chance the AI wasn't set set up to split as early as June.
If the split does not happen after this turn then I cannot push into the Caucasus or wait until Mar 43 and have a chance to win.
