AP Bug?

[SimonLancaster]

Trying to work this one out.. I am playing Jim in an mp battle and chatting to Bunny so perhaps we can clarify it.

I turned a Hoplite unit to attack on the next turn. When the next turn came my unit can't move or attack for some reason.

We have been chatting about this.. Maybe I forgot and moved my unit this turn? But, when I click on the units to move button this unit comes up and it is shaded in gold. It is telling me to move my unit. If I had moved my unit during this turn then this wouldn't happen.. Thoughts please!

its because you are within the secondary zone of control of the persian unit behind and to your left (I think)

No, it is because the unit has 0 AP.

This could happen if they were in close combat in the automated melee phase at the end of the enemy turn (which technically counts as the beginning of your turn).

For example, if the Persian cavalry pursuit charged your infantry and then broke off, that would cancel your unit's AP for the turn.

I don’t remember fighting anyone in the previous turn. At the end of my previous turn I turned around 180 degrees and was going to attack on this turn.

It wouldn't have been in your previous turn, it would have been during the replay, just before your current turn.

As far as I recall there was no melee or any cav near me on the replay. I turned around 180 degrees and I was ready to attack on the next turn.

The reason I mention it is that in the screenshot there is a Persian cavalry unit in a position that could represent it having contacted your unit in the pursuit phase and fallen back afterwards.

Whether it did so, or not, is of course another matter, but if it had it would explain why your unit has 0 AP.

The cav unit was coming up from the left and wasn't near me. I will see if Jim has anything to add..
