mcaryf1 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I have encountered a situation where my Russian forces in Persia seem to have been attacked by Japanese troops advancing through India and yet I am not at war with them and cannot retaliate. It is a little difficult to be sure what is happening as there are Italian forces plus artillery behind the Japanese, who are at war with USSR, but I a pretty well convinced that the Japanese were attacking me as well as the Italian artillery. Is this something that I should expect to happen - there were incidents in WW2 where troops disguised themselves as other nationalities to create provocations but I did not think the AI was that clever. regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hi Mike There can be occasions when two Majors that aren't at war, can fight each other, and that will be when one side is on the territory of a friendly Major that the enemy Major is at war with, or on the territory of a Minor belonging to that friendly Major. I hope that makes sense as it almost sounds like a tongue twister! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Bill is correct but I think there was a bug in terms of not being able to retaliate in this situation that has been corrected for the next build... can you send me a saved turn where you were not able to attack back and I can take a look.

mcaryf1 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hi Hubert Actually the unit was destroyed so I could not retaliate at that location and I tried whether I could attack the Japanese elsewhere and I could not so that is what I meant rather than the unit being attacked could not retaliate. I have tried it out with another approach to handling that unit and it seems I can retaliate in Persia but not against Japanese occupied teritory elsewhere. I am not sure whether Persia had been reconquered by the Axis as I took over the game from the AI so it is possible that had happened. The place I tried out attacking the Japanese in retailation was Manchuria which was of course a Japanese occupied territory. So did this probably happen because the Axis had already liberated Persia once? Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 That would certainly make sense Mike, if Persia was first conquered by the UK and then liberated by Germany, and if the UK is at war with Japan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcaryf1 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Actually it was a 1942 start scenario so Persia was already conquered by the SU. I assume that it would perhaps have to have been liberated at some stage during the scenario otherwise what would be the difference to me attacking Japan in Manchuria?

Bill101 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Good question Mike, I think we'll have to investigate that one further then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
