This happens in the middle of my turn when I'm moving my units. Suddenly I can't move any unit. There is nothing I can do. Units can't move.

I can quit and exit the main menu. Then I'll load the saved game. The problem is still there.

I did close the WITE2 and started the program again. Then I loaded the saved game. The problem was gone. Units are moving again.

This has happened few times now. I have played 1941 campaign for 62 turns. The first time this happended on turn 60 or 61.

Is it possible the move compass has been turned off? If you're really stuck and can't right click on a hex and have the unit move, then this one's tough since you say it self-corrects when you rerun the program. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Ok, I did some tests. I can move, but the compass is gone.

When in rail mode the compass is on. In move mode the compass is off. How to turn it back on?

Unfortunately the movement compass is incompatible with the show rail mode. I'll ask Pavel if there's a way to get around that as I've fallen into that trap as well. It may not be easily changed though.

I checked my user preferences. Show move path and Show allowed Movement are both on. I can't see the path or allowed movement unless I restart.
