mdsmall -> "UFO" Austro-Hungarian Corps (2/22/2022 7:47:40 PM)

Hi Bill,

In a single-player game that I just concluded, the following unusual event occurred. In September 1915, the Russians captured Krakow and moved several units south along the road running towards Hungary. At the end of my Entente turn, two or three previously invisible Austro-Hungarian corps appeared to mobilize in hexes adjacent to the Russian units in the sector between Krakow and Przemsyl. They were then able to move in the CP turn and attacked the Russians. Since these AH units appeared in hexes adjacent to my forces, I don't think this was a case of unspotted units becoming apparent during the next turn (at least as far as I could tell watching the game engine at work). Stranger still, these units had no/no unit designations. For the rest of the game, they appeared on the board simply as "Corps", again even when I was adjacent and could otherwise see their unit designations.

Is there any feature of the game which might account for this? I should add that this occurred in a mod which I am play-testing, based on the 1914 Call to Arms campaign. But I made no changes to the mobilization or unit scripts for any of the major powers, so my guess is that was due to settings in the vanilla game.
Cheers,

Michael

Hi Michael

From your description I'm assuming that they deployed at Tarnow?

There's literally only one UNIT script that deploys units there, and that fires in August 1914, so it's not a script triggering that.

Nor is there a mechanism allowing anyone to operate or deploy units during your turn, so the only rational explanation is that they operated/deployed/marched these units there during their turn.

Their not having a unit name is possible, especially if the AH have cycled through a lot of units.

If you have a saved turn then we would be very happy to take a look, but really we'd have to see it when this happens, rather than after.
