Playing as CP, had a German HQ that was in the hex south of Mantua relocated to Toulon (southern French port) when Italy surrendered. Everything else went northward to Austrian or German territory. The HQ was destroyed the next impulse (out of supply and enemy units present in Toulon). Guess they caught the wrong train

I also had that same problem. I think that I have a save if Frank wants to check it over. It seems that late in the game there are a few oddities such as this.

The British like to pour troops into Salonika but they just sit there while I pound away at France.

On mobilization, I decided to go after Russia and not declare war on Luxembourg or Belgium. Most of the troops allocated for attacking the latter were placed east for a massive offensive in eastern Poland, the Ukraine and the Baltic states. Some reserves were left in western Germany to fill in as French attacks reduced my strength in the trenches and the fort of Metz.

I pulled too many east given what happened in France. The attack on the Baltic states yields little except for taking out Russian industry in Riga and the Germans were dogged all the way by Russians who seemed to have run out of offensives but still threatened to cut my supply lines. The Ukraine went better with Kiev (and more industry) falling before the end of October. Russians cut off in Poland never made it out.

The Russian Revolution started over two years early and Kerensky was toppled a turn or two later. I anticipated using my rail capacity up for as long as it took to move sizeable numbers of reasonably fresh, full strength, high quality units to dump into the French meat grinder, but eleven of the fourteen German infantry corps, including three Grenadier corps, vanished into thin air.

Between the loss of those troops and the British sinking my U-boats faster than I could build them, I stopped playing even though the software said I had a major CP victory going.

What in the world happened to my units?

Upon surrender from a major power a certain amount of troops are taken out as garrison troops. Think its 6 German corps in France, 3 in Italy and 16 in Russia. You can find them on the reinforcement list arriving at some later point in the game - can't remember whether its 1 6 or 12 turns but check your save file.

The units taken will have to be on that particular front and strength point and readiness are irrelevant. My gues is they are taken in numerical order which means your best corps first :-(

That explains a few trhings I had noticed vs the AI recently - "reinforcements" of corps that had not been killed - I couldn't figure out what had hapened to them!! Thanks! :)
