Can you spot the problem in this picture?

Is it doing this kind of thing every time CPs are taking it on the chin?

No. The three CW cp's were split and the Dutch Cp's were in a stack of three. I elected to take the X on one of the CW cp's. Because this kills 2 cp points, the game asked me to pick the next CP to lose, and I chose another CW cp, at which point it destroyed both remaining CW cp's and aborted a Dutch cp.

I did it that way because I was hoping to avoid having the game split the stack of 3, which as you know causes the remainder to lose their sentry status. But instead I lost an extra cp and the dutch stack was still split :P

I thought if it were some extreme corner case resulting from mixing the two nationalities, then without a saved game it would be quite difficult to troubleshoot.

But if it happens a lot then it should be easier to fix.

Forgive me if I misunderstood it but i think it may not be a bug, depending on how MWIF works...

I mean, if you are asked to assign 1 X, and you select the CW, you'd get TWO brit losses, the next Cp to lose would be the D one, meaning one more Cp which could have been CW or Ne. Since you selected CW, you got 2+1 CW kills and automatically there were only 3 Ne ships for one abort so MWIF did it by itself, aborting one of them.

There was no D, it was 1X 1A. Should have been two cp's lost, 1 aborted.
