Unit count bug in battle

[LennardF]

I’m encountering a bug so weird I feel like I’m forgetting something…

1 defending Japanese infantry in Sumatra.

I land 2 infantry and fly in 4 fighters. The game rolls 2 dice for the infantry and 1 for the 4 fighters. I would prefer if it rolled all 4 dice… Anybody seen this before?

Here’s the file:

@lennardf yea it seems like one to me. I haven’t noticed it before. I saw the fighters move was undone and then redid, but that shouldn’t matter. Maybe undoing and then moving one at a time to reattack triggered it ? idk but it shouldn’t do that regardless.

I’d make a bug report https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/1708/how-to-submit-a-bug-report

Edit
I guess this should move to triplea support

@barnee yeah seems like a new one to me as well

One thing to point out is that the origin of the error goes back to between round 4 and 5.

In round 4 ANZAC lands three planes on the US carries during combat movement. By ANZAC 5 those three fighters are already corrupted. If you open the game file at the start of ANZAC 5 or any point thereafter, you’ll noticed that if you try to move one of those fighters, the little movement space counter says 1/0 rather than 1/4, as in, these fighters have 0 total movement capacity. (although oddly you can still move them)

Interestingly, in round 5, two of the fighters attacked undefended transports, an action which is an auto-kill and doesn’t require an actual dice roll and disguises that they were already corrupted at that point.

The one fighter which came from Queensland on round 5 to join the fleet is uncorrupted, which is why it’s the only one able to attack Sumatra on round 6.

I tried for a while, but I’m still unable to replicate the error. Hopefully that narrows down the origin though.

BTW I pulled the older game files from here:

@contango ok well not that it should matter or planes should ever get corrupted in this manner, but that initial move of the 3 fighters to a carrier during combat is an illegal move (which is probably why it’s never been spotted before) @LennardF i would def add this information to your bug report :)

Thanks all, bug report submitted.

@Barnee - I had originally moved all 4 fighters into Sumatra at once - the one at a time maneuver was we me trying to work around the bug.

@lennardf i would try to edit the units out and back in assuming you can without breaking your game continuity that should clear whatever the problem is

[LennardF]

@ubernaut Had to back up a little but that solved it. Feeling a bit dumb that I didn’t think of that myself - thanks!

@lennardf glad i could help :)
