CEAW v1.12 - GS - Convoy Bug that's worse than U-boats!!!

Post by mikester222 »

Searched back to May 2009 and didn't see anything on this in forums...

I'm playing 1939 Scenario as Allies vs. Axis Computer AI in Grand Strategy Game. I'm currenly up to June 1940 in the Game. Thus far, I have seen normal (i.e. same behaviour as original non Grand Strategy Game) convoy activity leaving US/Canada. However, 3 convoys thus far have gotten to west coast of UK and gotten stuck there. One sat right next western port in UK for over 5 turns and never delivered its PP. :evil: It then moved off couple hexes to the south of the port right next to UK coast line and is just sitting there. :?: :?: :?: A 2nd convoy has come along, moved right past the same port (vs. delivering its PP into the port) and proceeded to sail to sit right next to the 1st convoy. A third convoy has sailed up through waterway from south between Ireland and west coast of England past another port and now seems to also just be sitting there. This is vexing and totally messed up. France looks like it'll fall in ~ 4 turns and I fully expect an invasion of the UK after that as I"ve not been able to build up naval and air units to be able to defend it. I never saw convoys behave like this in the orginal game. Note - I'm playing GS mod on top of the latestet ver. of the Original CEAW game purchased from Matrix Games in Dec 2009.

My convoy problem is different then yours. The Russian convoys move to Murmansk and unload while the UK convoys appear in the southwest but do not move anywhere and just keep appearing but not moving. Britain is starving! Please help them they, look very frail.

I'm just curious ... what happens if you send the RN to patrol their area. Do you find subs? Do the convoys start moving again?

rkr,

There are no subs in the vicinity. I know that because I am playing a PBEM game against myself to see how this game works from both sides. This problem does not ocure with FOW off. I tried that option later and found no problem. The convoys do not start moving later in the game, they just pile up near the entry hexes. I have also tried reinstalling the game with no change.
I do like this game but I will have to wait for a fix because this bug removes the fun of playing a ballanced game for me.
