Bug - losing Forced March card after selection - 10/10/2016 6:44:02 PM

Bug report: I have seen examples when the Forced March card is lost when the game allows the selection of an army (thus the Undo button greys-out at this point) but prevents said army from actually moving due to an additional gameplay limitation notification.

The card is lost at this point. Must restore a save game to regain the card.

Should not the Undo button remain active until AFTER the army has completed moving? If an error/notification arises that prevents the actual use of the card, should not the card return to the stack and not be "lost"?

Latest game version 1.0.1.

Well, there seem to be two problems here. The undo should NOT be lost until the card is actually played. And the card should not be playable unless the chosen army can use the card.

Was the army unable to use the card at all, or were you simply prevented from moving the army where you wanted to? I mean, after playing the card and selecting your army, was your army able to move somewhere with the extended march?

Example: I had 0 activations left and chose this army that had not moved previously. It allowed me to choose this army, then warned me I had no activations left. The card was lost.

I have also seen this when, for example, I move an army into enemy territory, then attempt to move it again a 2nd time within enemy territory, at which point it warns me I cannot do that since the first space was enemy-owned... the card is lost. Another warning is if the army has already been in combat.

These were my own mistakes to start with, as I was reminded AFTER attempting to use the card, which is why I expected the Undo button to work.

It is as if the game only validates up to selecting an army. After that, it assumes the card was used. You cannot undo after you select an army.

ADDITIONAL: Same thing with Strategic movement card. Once the army is selected, Undo greys out. I then saw the reminder about it being January and possible attrition, at which point I did NOT move the army. The card was lost. The game is not validating until the move, only until army selection and then cannot be undone.

Thanks for the information. I'll look into this, of course.
