Am playing the full campaign with 1.03 as SU.

Was trying to assign some of the IL-4 heavy bombers near Smolensk, part of 3 BAK Air Command, to convert to night missions and drop supply to partisan units.

Problem is, I made the assignments in the morning, saved the game with Slitherine, and on the next load all the planes were gone. Zero IL-4s. Are they in the National Reserve? No clue. In fact, ALL of 3 BAK Air Command's planes, on three airfields, are all gone.

I understand the game moves planes and swaps models during the logistics phases, but it should not be happening between loads and saves. Right?

Totally at a loss here.

For clarity, the Air Group HQ, and the airfields, are still in place. No counters got disbanded, it's just all the attached planes on the air bases are gone. Zero.

Now that I mention it, many airfields that started with planes are empty. For example, all of the airfields near Leningrad, of the Northern Air Command, none of them have a single plane. Not one. Ditto for most in the Ukraine. Not all were destroyed by enemy airfield attacks, or were even bombed. They are just MIA.

This has to be a Slitherine issue, I think. I started a local 1941 campaign as a test, and simply cycled through the first two turns, and the planes all seem to be more or less in place. (My PBEM is only on turn 2). Something is happening with the saved games.

What is your and your opponent Slitherine forum names, scenario name, current turn?

He's playing me, so....

Runyan99 (SU) vs CheerfullyInsane (Ge), 41-45 GC, Turn 2.

On loading turn 3, it looks like all my IL-4 squadrons went to the National Reserve, but that's strange because they weren't understrength I don't think on turn 1 or 2, were not attacked, and I didn't send them there.

I've downloaded post event saves and as I see many groups ended up in the National Reserve. I've tried to replicate it, but couldn't get it done. So it would be good to have pre-event save. So far I see only one way that so many groups appear in the National Reserve - CR function.




runyan99 -> RE: Disappearing Planes (3/15/2011 1:24:13 AM)

I don't know what the CR function is you refer to.

I will say that a couple more turns on, I haven't noticed the problem again. Squadrons I assign from the Reserve seem to be more or less staying where I put them. It seems to have been just a one time event on turn 2.
