Michael -

In one of my Japanese pbem matchs I have two TFs stuck at dot bases in the DEI:

TF91 at Tanahdjampea (65,109)
TF103 at Tochangbesi-einlanden (70,109)

The TFs have been stuck at those bases for 5 consecutive turns now.

I've tried changing their destinations, creating new TFs, changing the type of TF and they still won't move.

They originally went to those dots to as Fast Transports, dropped off their troops, waited around on "Remain on Station" and then picked up their troop loads again after the base was captured.

But since then they won't move away. I have changed their orders to "retire".

I've attached the turn file. I no longer have the turn before they got stuck.

BTW - this is still the old official patch, not the latest.

Please send me a pm so that I can send you the pw for this match.

Thanks -

The TFs are loading supply at bases that no longer have any left.
IIRC, there was a bug in which TFs could remaining loading supply even though none present. Fixed in latest patch series.

This does happen when the 1108r9 version is run on the same save.

Ah, that's odd/interesting - I didn't realize that they were trying to load supplies because I had changed them to Surface Combat TFs.

I just tested something out - I created new Fast Transport TFs from them and the "load supplies" carried over to the new TF.

However, when I re-ran the turn and create new Surface Combat TFs or ASW TFs the "load supplies" didn't carry over.

I wonder why it carried when I changed their mission a few turns ago.

In any event, I've shut off the "load supplies" and I'll see what happens this turn.

I'll have to watch out for that from now on.

Thanks so much for your help!

As a follow-up, I turned off the "load supplies" on both TFs, rebuilt them as Fast Transports again, and next turn they had moved off. So all is well again.

I'll have to watch out to avoid this in the future.

Thanks again Michael.
