Game freezes when subs attack in specific way

The following sub attack causes a game freeze: Russian convoy is in hex 25,1. Hex 25,0 is empty. German subs attack convoy from other 5 hexes surrounding 25,1. Game appears freeze during the convoy lend lease phase. Happens repeatedly. Leaving any other hex besides 25,0 empty solves the problem. Of course then the convoy can escape--darn!

This appears to be a rare, but possible bug in GSv2.00 random convoy movement that we've found and fix in the upcoming GSv2.01 patch.

Also, this bug and fix led to a "related" bug that's existed in the vanilla game since the initial release of CEaW (i.e., 1.00). GSv2.01 will contain a fix to this "related" bug which results in significantly faster play by the AI in our experience.
