Battle Scenario Concern

[Exterous]

I've noticed this a couple of times but only finally managed to track it down to a concrete case.

Playing the ardennes scenario I had the remainder of the German Whermact (12 inf 3 arm) trapped in Friendriech-schaffen (sp). No units were in retreat anywhere as the allies organized for the final attack. Right before my attack, 8 German divisions (6inf 2 arm) appeared in Frankfurt-am-Main. There were now 6inf and 1 arm in Friendriech-schaffen. Both forces were wipped out, but how did they get there? Was it possible that the AI moved through the blacked-out area? Other thoughts?

Hopefully this is only the case of being a demo

Strategic redeployment?

So you can strat redeploy into a pocket?

sounds strange..

I've not tried this, but I imagine that if the SR is already on the way when the pocket closes, it would be expecting a lot of the code to work out whether it made it inside the pocket (which might be a couple of provinces deep) before it closed or not. So I'd think that SRs would indeed be completed, and this is probably what happened.
By contrast, if you capture a province that someone SR'd to, they don't suddenly turn up anyway, but 'get out' at the nearest friendly province on the route, which is what you'd expect.

How can they strat deploy into a provence that i controlled?

Then I misunderstood your question. It sounded as if you described teleportation of 6 inf and 2 arm from German controlled Friedrichshaven to Frankfurt-am-main. If you are saying that you controlled Frankfurt-am-main all the time (i.e. from before the time they disappeared from Friedrichshaven), then I am stumped.

On SRDing into pockets, Gwalchmai, the rule is that you can SRD to anywhere on the same landmass that is in supply when you give the order.

Thats how I understand it as well. Sorry for the confusing description, but thats why I am stumped as to how they got there as well
