These are my final questions for today :)

If you look at the picture below, you can see a routing American unit (in the middle of the road between buildings). I tried interdicting it with units in the wooded hex below (see the arrow), and got the error message pictured here.

My question is: why interdiction was not possible here considering that there was clear LOS and no hindrance...

Also, the AI behavior here was completely wrong. It exited the broken unit from the building to its left (marked with orange circle) into plain sight, and it actually left it there, instead of moving it to the building marked with blue circle... That's suicide!

Still, overall the AI kicked my butt in this scenario :)

Best,
Michal

Status: offline 		I had this come up twice last night- I'm assuming that the AI low crawled (though I swear that in at least one case it moved more than the single hex) as I was unable to interdict where I clearly would of been able to normally. Suggestion Peter - can you have the output box indicate when a unit uses low crawl? It would save someone the time to line up the interdiction only to be told that the unit can't be interdicted.

Also - any plans for adding prisoners and "no quarter" in the future?? :)

You can tell when a broken unit used low crawl movement, the unit has a blue triangle in the upper right corner of the counter. Fore more details about other triangle markers for personnel units, please see the 5.1 section of the manual pages 22-23.
