BUG - Mission freezes if infantry has no way to move

Post by TopoSolitario »

I've found a bug in the last mission of the second german campaign, but it will probably happen everytime that situation is reached:

BUG - Mission freezes if infantry has no way to move after a vehicle overlaps it

HOW TO REPLICATE - If an infantry unit was displaced due a vehicle overlap, the mission freezes (not the game, it is working but nothing happens). One way to happen this is the last german mission of the second campaign, the ford is locked (vehicle destroyed in the middle of the ford) an infantry unit is adjacent and a sherman overlaps it. The only place the infantry could go is to the back of the sherman... I think boardgame rules states that then the infantry retreats two spaces, but as it does only one, and every square is occupied, it freezes.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION - Make the infantry move 2 squares if the first is occupied.

AI PROBLEM - Before absurdly moving the sherman into the ford... maybe they should obliterate the panzer wrekage... is AI ignoring the possibility to break wrekages if the only way to advance to the target is doing so?

Ditto

The same thing happened in my game, when an half-track back up on two infantries, one moved away the other one was cornered and had no place to go and the game froze... and I was winning when it happened !

Hi radar, TopoSolitario
yes this is a bug. We know it and we're going to fix it very soon.

The board game rule says that the infantry unit should have been eliminated
