In my current game I noticed the Austria-Hungarian ship Lemnos was placed into the Adriatic automatically. Don't you usually have control over when and where reinforcements are placed? Or am I incorrect and missing something? Working as designed?

Just a thought....does this occur once the Greek Venizelists declare for The Entante and force a coup against the pro-CP Royalists in Greece? One of the Greek destroyers may defect to the A-H (Pola)

Evzone62 is right, it's not a normal reinforcement as such, think of it more as a bonus - providing you are the Central Powers of course!

I got the Greek destroyer flotte. They don't like German beer but prefer Scotch. We are busy upgrading them with yoked out ASW at Athens. Come down and check her out if you dare.

PS..yeah you can have that rust bucket Lemnos...looks like port capacity is at a premium in the Adriatic.

Funny you say that I have learned as AH it is best to NOT deploy all ships to the Adriatic! There is just not enough room! Had no choice with this one!

No choice indeed. Yeah civil war breaks out again in Greece..and part of the fleet defects to the Central Powers. Abstractly its trying to reach a AH port. The DD that went to the Entente appeared off the south coast of Greece unfitted out. It could of been a dead duck too.

Pretty interesting abstraction that happens with this event. We hardly ever saw it because so many MP matches ended far too early in earlier versions of this wonderful game. Nerfing the arty chits and pinning logistics to shell cap sure helped. Still think Arty 2 can be got a little too early..but that is a topic for another thread.

Agreed the game is so much better now that artillery has been nerfed! And I can actually do something with subs now! You might be right about Art 2!

I still think Arty2 shouldn't raise its ugly head till 1917....but yes the fixes Bill and Hubert have done since our last fandango rodeo with SC-WW1 is far better in that regard...and the sub fixes you advocated too!
