I edited German div away from Crete.

I think CW built twice 4x CP, is there another 4 coming too?

If there is nothing else wrong, it�s easy to sink those extra CPs.

Yes, those 4 CPs arrive in May/Jun (the turn before).

Let us indeed hope that there are nothing else wrong.

Are we going to guess that the edit made this error? Or that something else is the cause? I am kind of suspicious of the edit since you found something before when you tried to edit the oil as well.

Maybe we should avoid edits from now on and try to solve things some other way?

I checked autosave files during turn end, that bug is there already.

I did again CW production. First CPs did not show at all (right after CW production) but after few phases there was 4 CPs.

I used saves and auto saves during turn end, can that cause problems?

Editing German div and Syria oil at one go first vanished div and second time oils. So oils are yet to be fixed.

It used to cause errors. But I thought that they were fixed long ago (at least some versions back). I was loath for a long time to use saves made during the end of turn because of the risk of bugs. But playing with you guys made me think that the time for such caution had passed.

Maybe we should minimize the use of saves during the end of turn from now on?

PARA Div (Canton) -> 75,134 (next to Tianshui)
MTN Div (Tientsin) -> Tianshui

Land Movement:

Italy:
TERR (110,75) -> 112,74

Japan:
HQI (91,133) -> 90,134
INF (89,136) -> Kweiyang (No US reaction, 10 rolled)
INF (89,137) -> 88,136

Yes.

The program stores special information when a player builds convoys, pilots, forts, and other units that have generic counters. Basically, it records what was built by each major power and then creates those units out of thin air and puts them into Production. But it doesn't perform the second step until after all the players have completed production.

The reason the code is a little complicated is that it requires only 1 computer to perform the task of creating the generic units. For NetPlay games, that is performed in by the Allied computer and then the information is sent to the Axis computer. This 2 step process makes sure that the unit numbers assigned to the generic units are the same on both the Allied and Axis computer. If you see a German pilot unit in Moscow, where a Soviet saved oil point should be, then the assigned numbers for the generic units have gotten messed up.

---

So, let one person perform all the builds for both sides. After the Production phase has been completed, then sending saved games back and forth should 'usually' work. No guarantees though - I'm sorry.

A Channel Dash? With only the HMS Warspite on station and sensibly avoiding a lopsided fight as the Kriegsmarine runs away from the Atlantic... probably wouldn�t look good in the newspapers for the First Sea Lord though.

Thank you, Steve, for the explanation.

Although we do let one person do all the builds for both sides. We do not send end of turn saves around to let each power do their stuff. This all happened on one computer. As far as I know anyway. Therefore I think that some autosave, or save, may have been made in a place of the sequence when this bug may occur on the same computer. Hence, the ability to save in that spot should be removed (if it isn't already).

Conclusion. The ability to save during the end of turn should be limited to steps where this bug can not occur.

China after Axis impulse.

I realized my mistake one minute after rolling weather. Kweiyang was empty and now all Chinese units are OOS. Looks god for Japs...

Axis decline to search in the Med.

However, Graf Spee re-initiate the hunt for HMS Warspite.

Axis decline to reinforce the North Sea with any additional aircrafts.

CW has 4 air units available. Will any planes fly to the North Sea?

After the North Sea action is completed CW has to decide if they want to initiate combat in the East Med.

Axis will react with one naval bomber to the 0-box, and another to the 2-box. Perhaps that changes if CW want to include the SUB, or not.

Anyway, I will continue with the North Sea shortly.

The British SUB crash dive when the Italian cruisers approach, and escapes without any real damage. Shaken the SUB steers for a safe port.

What port will the SUB abort to?

Axis stay. Will CW stay as well?
