As Spain, I haven't been able to uncheck either the "Minor to Support" or the "Withdraw DoW's Against Minor(s)" boxes for Algeria in either PBEM or solitaire games.

A minor problem for sure, but I know you'd like to get a comprehensive list of possible bugs. :)

When you highlight Algeria, which major power from the list of “if aggressor is” is checked off? Algeria will show as checked off as long as you have a major power from that list checked off.

The Algeria box remains checked when any of the major powers boxes are checked and goes "unchecked" if no major power is checked. Not quite sure I understand why this would be by design.

The action a player (Spain) takes by choosing a minor country (Algeria) and then checking off a major power (Turkey) from the “if aggressor is” list is to support that minor country (Algeria) and declare war on the aggressor (Turkey) IF the player (Spain) gains control of the minor country (Algeria) during the Minor Country Control procedure (section 6.6.).

No check marks - no standing orders. Does that help?

The reason it's by design (I'm guessing here) is that the check box at the top (with the minor's name by it) is a marker telling if ANY of the boxes below are checked. If  you have one or all six checked, the one above will be checked. If zero, then the one above will be unchecked.

When you click one of the upper boxes for the first time, nothing happens other than highlighting that minor's name. Then, if you go below and check one, the upper one gets checked.

So, I think it's working as planned.

I will add, however, that it could use some work. Not for the first patch, but later, I suggest:

*  Have the ability to apply a template. This would mean an extra set of the majors below, which would be used as a template. It should have a check box above it that says "apply the same list of major name check boxes when I click the check box for a minor's name above". Or, something like that. The way it would work is:

As France, I check the "Prussia" and "Austria" lines in the template. If I leave the check box above it unchecked, this has no effect. However, if I check the box (text above), then, whenever I click on the check box of a minor (in either "Minors to support" or "Withdraw DOW's ..."), now it DOES get checked, and the check boxes I picked (Prussia and Austria, in this case) get checked along with it.

*  If the above suggestion is adopted, then another feature would be that it allows double-clicking one minor's name above to apply the template to ALL of the minors, not just the one clicked on. This would then match (somewhat) the feature to the left (where double-clicking checks all the boxes).

I could well be missing something here, but it appears to me that Spain is unable to remove its commitment to support Algeria under almost any circumstances. In other words, I haven't been able to "uncheck" Algeria for either "Minor to Support" or "Withdraw DoW" when any or all "aggressor Major(s)" are checked.

Highlight the minor in question (Algeria) and you will see the major powers that are checked off (Turkey). Uncheck the major power (Turkey) and minor in question (Algeria) will be unchecked.
