ORIGINAL: warspite1 One question. If Allied naval units are unable to travel into the Baltic, how has the French cruiser managed to reorganise? Is this WAD? Edit: Found it [RAC page 99]. Ships and aircraft at sea consume oil if reorganised, but they do not need to trace a path to the oil resource. Yes, you found the relevant rule. However, did the French ships, in the Baltic Sea, have a port they could return to? If not, then it might be a bug and they should have been destroyed. Ships that does not have a base they can return to are not allowed to stay at sea. And I suspect that the only base available is Frederickshavn, although I am not sure if that is the case. Maybe Aarhus is Allied? And if Frederickshavn is the only base and there are CW ships there then that port is unavailable since CW and France do not yet co-operate. So it all comes down to this; did Allies control a port in the Baltic Sea area without any CW ships during the return to base step? If they did the French remain, if not, then they should be destroyed. Cut from 13.4 Return to base: When you can’t return to base Destroy any unit (checked individually) that has no base to return to. It makes no difference if a unit couldn’t return to base because it was out of range or was blocked by naval movement restrictions (see 8.2.10 and 11.4.4). [Clarification. You can not return to base to a port you could not normally make a naval move into - Dec. 23, 2007.] Destroy any unit at sea that couldn’t have returned to base (even if it could stay at sea). [Clarification. Infinite naval units may remain at sea provided at least 1 space (i.e., at a minor port) is available to which they could have returned to base - Dec. 28, 2007.]
