Slitherine

I had a maneuverable MI unit with full movement that would not move one square straight and then go diagonally one square. The terrain was clear and it was in command control. The diagonal move would take into a primary ZOC. I'm an experienced player (over 3000 hours) and I have never seen this before. I have screenshots. Please advise.

Please attach the screenshots. (You may need to load them into a paint program such as paint.net and resave them at a lower fidelity to reduce the file size to around 200k.)

I have saved the image as gif file sized 0.125k. However, I have not been able to paste it even though I have used the insert image command. Please advise.

I use a website called Imgur. It is free to join. Just upload your screenshot to them, and get a download link that you then post into your forum post.

Maybe it doesn't accept .gifs from strangers.

Try saving it as a .jpg

Thanks, Paul59. I did not know about Imgur.

See if this link works. You can see no move ahead and go diagonal right is permitted. I have another screenshot that says I did not enough MP to do that.

I can't see this screenshot myself, perhaps you have done something wrong in Imgur?

After you have uploaded the picture you click on Get Share Links:



Then copy the link for BBCode (Forums);



This is the link that you post into your forum post, if it is done right then the picture should show up in the post, just like my screenshots here, there should be no need for the viewer to click a link.

cheers

It is too small to see very clearly, and won't enlarge.

However, this is what you would see if you had already used up your free 45 degree turn. Although in that case there should be an Undo button.

A save game would probably be more useful than just a screenshot, because then I could investigate further.

You can't attach .lsf files directly, but you can if you .zip them first.

RBS, I had not turned the unit and the game is ongoing. Can you download from the Slitherine multiserver if I tell you which game?

No, we are not able to do that.

Richard,

I have forgotten how to save a game and send you the results. Please tell me what you would like for me to do.

You can't save an MP game. (You can but it just goes to the server, where we cannot test it).

So the bottom line is we don't know what the explanation is, and because it is an MP game we can't test it.

If anything like this ever happens in an SP game please post screenshot and saved game.
