There is another minor rule from the AH game that was omitted from the PC game.

“8.2.1.2.1.3:“Ports on the Black Sea can only trade if given permission by the major power controlling Constantinople” See page 24 AH Rule book.

Should not be too hard to fix by allowing a check box in the Turkish trade options.

Actually, they need to be careful on this one. The Turks are not always the power controlling Constantinople. However, the rule could be supplemented by simply saying that either Turkey controls the Dardenelles, or nobody does (if Turkey has lost the capital). It wouldn't be exactly the same, but close enough for 99% of the game.

OKay, this is has happened twice so far in games I am in.

A backup is required on someone's land phase where combat between major powers is about to happen and battle files will be exchanged. After the backup, the phasing major power cannot get a battle file generated. They click on the territory and nothing happens, even though both stacks are in the area.

For example, in the attached game, we had to do a backup after French land phase and before his combat phase, but now he cant seem to generate battle file for the area that has his and the prussian stack.

Suggestions? this would seem to screw up games, if you do a backup but then cant fight battles?

"No, port supply source...depot on fleet lost" bug

This has happened twice in the same PBEM game. A GB one-factor HF had a depot onboard for invasion supply. The depot was suddenly removed and the event recorded (see language above) even though there are at least 2 unblockaded British supply-source ports with fleet counters and depots. The fleet with the depot was not moved in any way. In the files attached, this occurred immediately following the June British naval phase. Earlier it happened in the April Land/Land combat between the Prussian and French phases.

Annoying in that it requires GB to spend an additional $$ to place a new invasion supply depot.

Thanks,
Ron

I've seen this bug many times, too. As GB, it's not so bad, because it just costs $1 to rebuild it. But, it's money that shouldn't need to be spent.

I tried some playtesting with this, and I found that it ALWAYS deletes the depot on a fleet at sea. Furthermore, it does not do so until after naval movement is complete. I did not have any naval battles, so I couldn't tell if it was between naval move and naval combat. But, they were gone at the beginning of the land movement phase, yet present at the beginning of the naval move phase.

NOTE: The depot which was the supply source for these depots was never removed, no was at least one fleet that was in that port (which isn't even required, but I just wanted to rule that out).

I'm hosting a PBEM game. When I took my Feb '05 land phase as France, any coprs that I tried to move was removed from the map and is now available for reinforcement. We proceeded, and the others are not seeing any issues in their games, but my game shows that their coprs were removed as well. I installed the patch but am not sure if the others have done so yet.

Thanks for any ideas,
Jim

NAVAL PHASE 
Problem: Gamestopper! French empty fleet in area10 still on the board. It was wiped out in french naval after GB interception and combat in area8.
File: Invade from blockade box
Status: new?

Cannot 'End current phase' after done land move. Gets 'Add forces or remove unit' None of that is possible to do with a fleet in a land phase.

GENERAL 
Problem: Corrupted .sav file? Neutral minor forces are present on tha map: Denmark fleet with invasion corps, Tunesian corps. Russian transport area699 show invasion corps still on board. That corps is now in Stockholm.
File: Invade from blockade box
Status: new?

In this situation, as Prussia, there appears to be no way to view the second (lower in the stack) Turkish fleet. It cannot be found in either the AS or ES tabs, regardless of scrolling.

NAVAL PHASE
Problem: A fleet still tries to intercept after it has lost a naval interception battle.
File: frenchblockaderun.sav
Status: new ?
As France attack GB blockade at Brest. GB retreat to Portsmouth. Move french fleet to area11, off of Portsmouth.
Now GB fleet tries to intercept again - after having lost a battle and retreated.

Monadman:

Albeit minor in most games, this ommission could be significant in some. Per the Avalon Hill Rule Book page 44 "No more than one (Russian) corps may commence the game based at Corfu (and no excess factors in garrison there)".

NAVAL PHASE - 2 BUGS:
1.Bog: Retreated fleets attempts interception.
Did this: Marseilles fleets attack GB Lt.flr blocking Cadiz and win (lifting blockade). GB fleet retreated to Gibraltar.
French fleet continues move, passes Gibraltar. GB fleet retreated to Gibraltar attempts blockade.
I think: GB fleet did not attempt interception from Cadiz blockade box, so it has no orders to do so. After retreat it gets intercept orders. So interception flag gets set and not removed when loosing naval combat. If true, an easy fix.
(I've have seen more occurences of this bug)

2.Bug: Fr. fleet can't enter Dublin.
Did this: In january moved fleet to Dublin blockade box, invaded the area and moved corps into the city. It had no garrison. (By the way was able to build a depot there in january as well. bug 3?)
I think: You are not considered controlling an enemy city until you have occupied it for a full turn. This prevents french fleet from entering Dublin. It prevents GB fleet from entering Dublin blockade box, since city is still considered GB's, which prevents GB from attacking french fleet. This also makes a fleet stay in a city after it is enemy occupied, and postpones forced blockade run until the city changes status to be controlled by occupying nation (at end of a month and also after econ.phase which fits the picture of other bug reports)

That is a fair point. Might want to limit it by factors then.

Rule check -- might want to verify that Cossacks cannot be loaded on ships.  It's been a while back in a game, but ISTR that I brought one to Great Britain via fleet.
