Supply problem

Post by zenhamster »

Hello,

I have an issue with the supply of one of my unit in Africa. Here the detail :
After a successful amphibious invasion of Egypt, I have one convoy and one battleship (both Italian) in Port Said and one German unit. Then during the supply phase, I click my unit and then the port nearby with my convoy in order to trace a naval supply line. So far, so good. In sea 25, there is a pause because of a possible intercept, which my opponent forfeits. So, the move is resumed and the convoy can reach Venice (from here all German mainland cities can be reached by land). At the end the convoy with its escort make a round trip and both ended back to Port Said with an additional sortie each as intended.
But at this point my German unit is still waiting for supplies, nothing at all happened for my troops... The game offers me to try to trace a land supply line for this unit, I try to click "use a convoy" again but now the game says that there is no convoy available... I try to cancel and try again but at the end the only option I have is to not resupply the unit which ends in No Supply state :(
Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong please? Or is there a problem with the interface?
Thank you!

Hello,

This sounds like the bug reported here: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=41910.

Does it apply to you too? If so the “cancel“ button should not work (at least, it would not allow you to cancel your whole supply phase and start again).
Lunalol then recommands you to stop playing and create another bug report for your table.

Hope this helps a little.

You must trace a ground supply route from Venise to Munich (German USS).
You can't use a second convoy in same supply.

Oh ok, it seems that once you reach the land you must pursue the tracing until the end then. It makes sense now, thank you, I'll try again on next turn.

Perhaps a cancel (not undo) button should be added to abort a supply line (and perhaps try a new one).
