I've just started my Companions Cup game versus Davouthojo and a fair few of my LF Bows are not firing... and it isn't wet strings because it's a desert In my 1st move there are 3 examples, which is a significant number to be more than a slight pain... especially since I've picked a missile heavy army to fight with. I can't afford for 5-10% of my troops not to be able to attack.

I'll leave the game in a saved state for a day. Please reply to say if you aren't going to look at this and I'll move on.

It looks to me that they had the option of double moves (the only hexes left have light shading) and since only 2 or less hexes are left it means that you did a double move with them thus denying your opportunity to shoot. Sometimes when clicking something to move I do the same and use a double move to reach a hex I could of got to with a basic move using some redundant hex to get there or moving back and forth before starting to move. It is one of the woes of controlling lots of lights.

I think you are right. I know that in the 1st case I moved to the desired square without a double move, but accidentally moved it out (th unit was still active when I clicked somewhere else) and then had to move it back. So I used more than normal moves to get where I should have been.

The other 2 are moves that were 5 hexes instead of the normal 4.

I must admit, I thought that double moves were designed so that they couldn't bring a unit into combat range.... maybe I'm wrong in that respect.

I'll have to be more careful from now on.

Thanks for the help Steve.
