I'm playing Global War solitaire in May/Jun 1943.
I'm in the reinforcement stage for Italy who has received an ISO Territorial for placement.
The only place in the ISO that is either a city or port already contains an IT Inf, a supply counter and another Ter.
I cannot place the counter in any square in Somaliland because it would be over stacked or not in a city or port.
It wont allow me to ignore the placement and move on so the game is dead until I find a cure.
In other situations that I would think similar, the game has- before demanding placement - stated that due to over
stacking the reinforcement was being returned to the pool to come on a turn later. Not this time.

I think this would be a good game to zip up and send to Steve. The save from just before the reinforcement phase should make the problem easy to find.

Yes, what Paul posted.

It must be because the unit is a territorial. There is a lot of unique code just for territorials. For instance, sometime in the past few months I wrote some additional code for just this situation when the optional rule Off-City Reinforcements was ON.

I have a similar problem with a Polish inf. Warsaw is the only Polish city, and it has two corps and a div. The hex NE of Warsaw is controlled by Germany, but is not in enemy ZOC. The Warsaw MIL is correctly delayed for a month. It is not possible to end the phase. Savegame sent.
