Not the weather I was hoping for. Nor was it the weather that I feared for.

Not sure what to think of that.

Will CW try to intercept the German fleet entering the Faeroes Gap from the North Sea?

Status: offline 		Almost competed the naval movement when I noticed that I moved a SUB wrong, and did an 'undo' and the SUB disappeared. Did a find unit on it and it was listed as in port, but the port was empty of SUBs. So I exited the program and loaded the save I made halfway through the naval moves. And begun with checking the naval moves already done in that save. And found another error. I already shipped a GARR from Tokyo to Rabaul, but the GARR still remained in Tokyo (the TRS had left port). So I thought I needed to go back and redo the move when I find that the GARR is actually in Rabaul as well. The same unit is now in both Tokyo, and Rabaul.

So I need to redo the naval movement from the beginning. And hope that this isn't a regular thing now.

Anyway. I need a break from this. I hope to continue with the game today. But I am not sure that I will do so.

Status: offline 		Game seems corrupt.

Loaded auto-save from the naval movement. Loaded GARR on TRS in Tokyo, and sailed them to Rabaul. Looked ok except that the GARR (now in Rabaul) was listed as on the TRS (in Rabaul) instead of on land in port. So I ended the step to see if the GARR would become 'unloaded' in Rabaul after naval step was done. The GARR was then back in Tokyo, with the TRS in Rabaul.

Any idea on how to proceed?

Same result.

Did nothing before that naval move. Passed with both Italy, and Germany.

Then I loaded from impulse 1 save (number 241) I sent and GAR moved nicely to Rabaul. Can you try from this save?

Status: offline 		Yea. I now suspect that it is a bug in this version of MWIF, and not because of any edit. And that feels splendid to me. And this because I had the same bug in our Australian game.

So I had a theory that it might depend on how you load the unit on the TRS so I used the Naval Review form to load the TRS and shipped it without issue. And that strengthened that suspicion. But then I tested that theory further, it failed. No bug occurred when I redid the test as I think I originally did the move. So now I think it is an variant of the old transportation bug we have had for ages.

So it seems that I can not regularly recreate it. Or maybe I did something slightly different.

Anyway. I now think that the game can continue as is. Just need to be watchful with the 'undo' feature, and check every transport move.

1) if both in same port, right click the TRS to load unit.

2) after naval move from shore of the sea area click the load button in naval move window.

That is how the bug occurred. No real idea what I did different the fourth time so I could get past it.

Edit: I now try to do all the loading in the naval review form. Seems safer.

Impulse #1 (Axis)

Italy will begin the searches in the Norwegian Ocean.

Euro-Axis will also seach in the Faeroes Gap, and the North Sea. And a search might occur in the Arctic Sea as well.

Any air support in the Norwegian Sea? The ATR3 can reach up to the 2-box.

Any air support for the other sea areas that can be decided at this point?

Arctic Ocean will be determined later if needed.

I suppose that the email with the earliest time-stamp is the roll that will be used? Or?

And yes, we use the first result that arrives and second is ignored completely.

Sink first the minor country CP, the CW CPs and abort any ships to Liverpool. CW stay.
