I am currently playing one of the smaller scenarios PBEM and one of my fleets moved off map while retreating from an enemy fleet. Eventhough I can access the fleet from the active taskforce list and order it to move back into the map, it is not doing so I have tried to order it to move back to homeport or even activated computer controle, but it is simply not moving. The fleet has not been moving for 6 turns.

Does anyone have any suggestion as to how to get the fleet back on map?
Any help would be appriciatet. (the fleet is my mainbody of combatships )

In your case either Cape Town or Aden.  If they will go there I would suggest disbanding them when they get there and then form new TFs and give them an on-map destination and change their home port to an on-map location.

A current save will be neeeded to see what the problem is.
Plus I wouldn't expect a TF to move off-map when retreating from the enemy as there are several values that get set when you direct a TF off-map.
A naval battle (assuming that why it retreated) right on the edge of the map sounds like bad co-incidence.

If this is the case, a save at the time of the TF retreat is also required.

It happend during combat phase generatet by the two first files and the fil I recieved back from him. I play the japs, and it is TF26 that moves off map.

Thanks for having a look.

Thanks. I will look at that.

Yes. It has moved off the map area - the half hexes don't count as part of the map.
The fault is the 'retreat from threat' - it works where to go but only has the full map area check in place.

I might be able to entice it back on to the playing area.

Can you attach a current save (by itself) so I can try that?

[edit]
Ignore see next post

The TF should now be accessible.
