This problem will not permit advance to the next phase. I have restored at this step and earlier and the results are consistently the same.

After Choosing to Install Vichy (choosing Yes to "Establish a Vichy government in France (Germany)?") and dealing with the unit movements to correct non-Vichy in Vichy and Vichy into Vichy (lots of them), it is unable to advance.

I can not save at a later point (error message), so you need to complete the process to get to the point where you get stuck. It is not a freeze, but unable to finish the phase, even though there is nothing that appears to need to be waiting to get completed.

Game file attachment.

I expect this might already be out there, but I could not find it in the last few months of problem reports.

After dealing with all of the location changes, and completing the current phase VF Move French Naval Axis and then Choosing Cancel to Destroying Naval on non-French ports, it stops at a phase Vichy France Setup.

You were too fast. You saw my posting one minute after it was posted. It took me another minute to upload the file.

It was my bad - should have checked the time stamp.

No worries. You can't really complain about instant attention.

The problem comes from the French controlled Belgian convoy point in British Somaliland.

The program forces this unit to go to Djibouti since that's the closest French controlled port. However, the Belgian convoy point can't go there, since that port is in a minor country with which the Belgian convoy point does not cooperate. This makes it impossible to proceed the game...

There is what could be essentially now a Ghost of WiF Past that can solve a lot of annoying, trivial problems for players, and perhaps for MWiF as well. It used to be that when a minor country was set up, one simply used Convoy Points of it's controlling Major Power - there were no "Minor" Convoy Points. One never needed to worry about which minor country a Convoy Point came from, and indeed, in history, Convoys (and thus Ports) routinely held merchant ships of all nations with no problems at all.

I will say that using the Minor Convoy Points with the cardboard counters makes for a nicely more colorful map. But enforcing the Cooperation rules with Minor Convoy Points is just silly.

Thanks, Peter. At least I understand why.

I guess a work around would be to delete that particular convoy or merge the convoy with the French. It is not really essential.

I deleted the Belgian convoy. That did not help.
