Please take a look at a significant bug in Tournament Game 255,877 on the afternoon of Day 10 (19 January). Because of this computer error, it looks like seven armoured cars are about to be destroyed unlawfully.
Belgium has given Right of Way to both Britain and France. At Antwerp there is a Harbour. The 32nd British Armoured Car corps (29 inf 7 cars) was ordered to evacuate out of Antwerp to Birmingham before the French could arrive. At the time the order was given, the system correctly registered that embarkation would take 1.5 hrs. However, when embarkation actually took place, the penalty inflicted was three hours, as if the Harbour did not exist (there had been no combat at Antwerp up to that point, and the icon remained). The same problem was encountered by 44th British Artillery Brigade which evacuated an hour earlier, but they got away safely anyway.
Because of this computer error, the 22nd French Infantry Division (only 16 inf) coming from Reims engaged the embarking British for about 25 minutes, before embarkation was complete and the computer declared the British to be at sea. But instead of sailing away, the combat is continuing, between a unit on land and a unit at sea, and the British, supposedly safely at sea, are now being counted at half-strength, as if this were a disembarkation attempt.
Half the armoured cars have already been lost due to this illegal combat, and with the French rushing 26th infantry forward from Lille to reinforce, it is likely everything will be lost.
In summary, three bugs are present:
1) the Harbour was ignored in implementation of the move even though it was recognised when the order was given;
2) a unit at sea is pinned in combat by a unit on land when disengagement should have occurred once embarkation was complete;
3) the unit at sea is halved in combat, which should only occur during disembarkation.
Since this is a Tournament Game, and this computer error involves the illegal loss of most of Britain's armoured cars, please reset the strengths of the British and French units to their values before the false combat. Thank you.
