Is this a bug or is it some advantage given to the AI in this version? Or is it related to the fact I haven't researched ASW enough (haven't reached level 1 as GB yet). BTW, AI improvement is noticeable. The AI pulled off some pretty unexpected moves, like invading southern Caucasus via the Black Sea in 1941 (with masses of transports). It managed to invade France and Russia pretty well, could capture Yugoslavia in one turn, hasn't imvaded Greece though. I love the new map graphics with country names etc. Install went smoothly (I have Military History Europe CEAW).

Me too . Once I played Allies by pbem after midnight ,I was so sleepy that after move UK & USA ,I forgot move USSR at all & just finish the turn . It was in 1942 .Heavy bloc fight in Russia , after this mistake my red army was defeated by a unexceptable circle ,then I lost the war !)

I hope in Commander The Great War some kind of unit cycle button or unit list which shows moved/unmoved units is implemented. It's quite easy to overlook some units and not move them. I always find myself scanning the whole map for units which are still blinking before I end a turn, which is kinda annoying.

This button already exists, page up and page down buttons do it in GS. If you want, you can also put non-active units (like city garrisons in rear areas) on sentry mode (s), so cycle will ignore them.

What does that mean, it's frozen?

No more changes.

In the spring, the Axis attacked neutral Holland and got a message about how the ALLIED attack on Holland has angered the Americans, thus reducing convoys and canceling the LL destroyer. In my Allied opponent's subsequent turn he got the same message (about Holland). These erroneous messages appear to have no effect on gameplay, since the Allies already were being penalized for their Belgium aggression. But the erroneous messaging is confusing, and it ought to be diagnosed and fixed.

This usually happens to me if I 'trap' AI naval units, and there is no open hex for the AI naval unit to move to. The AI units will move 1 space away if it gets blocked, but if all the neighbouring hexes have units in them the game will hang, sometimes with a java error message in the DOS command box. Usually there are subs involved when this happens so if you have a lot of allied subs in play that might be the cause. The workaround solution to continue the game in this kind of error scenario is to replay the previous turn and moving your naval units (subs especially) a few hexes away from the AI units.
