I have a problem with a surface fleet wich accept the "bombardment mission", but switch on "surface combat" when I close the menu (not sure to be clear but I'm about to loose my mind) :

the tf is based at darwin (size 6 port),
most of the ships are from the royal navy,
only CL BB CLAA & DD.
No problem with supply or fuel
No problem with air superiority
no problem with range to the target (Kai island)
patch 1.801, PBEM and late october 42

I NEED this mission !!
HEEEEELP

Just a guess, but who's your TF leader. Could be a problem with a low-aggression leader "refusing" his orders.

Salut,

A general solution when a TF is refusing an order is to "disband it" and create a new one with the same ships, it works most of the time.

Just wondering if CLAA are allowed in bombardment TF ? I never saw such behaviour in my game.

May be the CLAA is the problem, willl try today...
I don't think the aggression score of the leader is the problem cause the tf is refusing to switch to "bombardment". The button is available but without effect.
thank you all !

Status: offline 		I have a Bombardment TF operating near Decca (port just below). It consists of
3-BB,1-CA,2-CLAA and 2 DDs. I have used it to bombard many times & it works just
fine. I don't think it is the CLAAs at fault here. Could you possibly use an Aussie
ship for your flag & use an Aussie commander, then add the Brit ships to it.
Could also have something to do with the different commands in Australia....

Status: offline 		When you disband, let them sit for a day in port then reorganize. Sometimes sitting disbanded in a port a day will clear anything they have that stops them. Then if that doesn't work, create the force dropping of individual ships till you figure which ship is giving the problem. I to have had this occasionally but usually fix it by this method.

Also change the target could also work.

I've tried to disband/reform the tf the turn before without any result, but this turn: it works !
in french "la nuit porte conseil" (the night gives good advices)
don't ask me the reason why, I didn't change anything.... it's voodoo
I love this game

I have had Br. CLAA take part in bombardment missions out of N. Aussieland and have experienced no problem with the TF retaining its bombardment mission. I don't know off-hand, if the CLAA actually fired in the mission, but its presence did not cause the mission switching that jeanbart is experiencing.

As noted earlier, I think the problem is with the TF commander. The disband and reform trick might also work.

Status: offline 		Never had CLAA be a problem with bombardment task forces.

I've recently had the same problem with a USN task force trying to bombard Tarawa.  Kept at it for almost a week {game time} before I had them "return to port" which I set at Baker Island.  Once they got to Baker Island, I reissued the bombardment order and it worked fine.  No disbandment was needed {or allowed as Baker was  a level 1 Port}.
