PBEM, latest official patch

The situation is as follows: it's mid-44 and the US CVs have positioned themselves 9 hexes off Manila where the IJN is concentrated. So the IJN SAGs got the order to sortie during the night to perhaps catch some valuable ships but more importantly prevent any allied ships from heading north.

What happened was that the SAGs made their move during the night and yet again stayed at their destination hexes afterwards with the predictable result that thousands of little japanese e-sailors were killed.

Retirement was allowed (checked that about a hundred times), full speed was ordered and all ships were fully fueled. Squadrons with less than 9 hexes speed per phase were ordered to move up to their own maximum speed instead.

Saves to follow (.pws renamed to .zip).

1. Combat save

Nine hexes out and nine back allows no time for fighting or reacting to events. My rule of thumb for a deliberate SAG strike is four hexes (less than 200 nm). If the carriers are nine hexes out, I try to set up a patrol line at about 7-9 hex distance with reaction 6. If the carriers move closer and miss the sweet spot at 7 hexes, I react with my SAGs into them. If they don't close, I wait. The best option for the carriers is to lead with a SAG as cover and keep good screens with the CVTFs. Even then, my SAGs will often get past the cover force and into the screens. I go with a lot of small SAGs, too--think like a raptor, not like a T-rex.

There was no battle at the destination (the carriers moved away SW) or anything else that would have used up a massive amount of ops points. I would not have cared if they could not have made it quite back to Manila but simply sitting at the target and moving not a single hex despite deliberately not having the "patrol/do not retire" enabled is a bit much.

What was your threat tolerance level? A low tolerance can sometimes result in practical paralysis if the TF is deep in enemy dominated air space.

If not a player fault like set to "patrol do not retire" which they weren�t I guess then it�s just the old (or one of the old) movement bugs and we just have to redo yet another turn. If not, then I�ve just sunk a big part of the IJN.

If michaelm could look at it that would be great.
