BUG: The non-pommeranian bay retreat

[unmerged(15561)]

The non-pommeranian bay retreat

Germany has taken Denmark and Oresund is blocked off. Unfortunately, the Free Danish Navy (in my control after being inherited) is stuck in Pommeranian Bay!

I mean, after going from sea zone to sea zone evading the Germany Navy, it keeps losing sea battles in that province! Over and over. The fleet is unable to retreat even though Gulf de Danzig and the Gotlands Hav is free of traffic.

In the end I have to disband them!!!

Weird... Save?

Alos run into this and it has carried over through several saves. The ships will not pass through the Oresund, it's almost as if this was being treated as a land province.

i believe oresund is a strait and you cannot go through a strait if you are at war with its owner

AHA! Yes too true... It's the same as with the Suez Cannal, the Panama Cannal and the Gibraltar Strait. If you're at war with a party that owns either side of the strait you'll have to take that province...

 

[unmerged(15561)]

Please re-read last paragraph and thread title!!!

The problem is that after losing a battle in the strait, my fleet does not retreat to another sea zone as per a normal sea battle!!

I understand that the bay is closed off, but there are 2 zones to the east that the fleet could and should retreat to, but does not. It stays in the same zone even after defeat.

This means that every time the Germany Navy enters the P bay my low org fleet retreat but stays in the same exact sea zone.

Is this descr. clearer? Is it a bug?

Cheers

Is this a bug?

Sorry to press.....

But I still think that this is a bug.

Can you please take a further look.

Thanks.

sorry Vulture but this is not true for Oresund...
I just had to fight a british fleet in gulf of Danzig while haveing anexed Norway, Sweden and Denmark 1 year befor.(1940)
If the "canal" option for oresund was true how did they get in there?
Naval battle took place Dez. '41
The British fleet wasnt there befor, I left Danzig with my Kriegmarine 3 month befor and was just returning to the "Ostsee"

edit: I remember landings to Rostock in other games while haveing only Denmark anexed.

Will do so tonight... Currently doing a quick run-through of the fora

Szun, could it be that the UK fleet was Norwegian? Send a fleet to intercept and then in the combat window check the names of the ships using the tool tip.

Are they NOR or ENG?

Logged now

 

[Szun]

I cant check that anymore...
But in any case I had sweden annexed befor the Norges entered the alliance.
If I own Denmark and that blockes the oresund...(not)

btw the ostsee was empty of any fleet other then finnish and my german fleets. I continiously made patrols with navbombers over any eastern and northsea zones.

Ok ok, seems like a bug then

 

[unmerged(15561)]

Vulture,

Just thinking could this also apply to Gibraltar, Suez and any other restricted sea zone (Panama?)

Cheers

Try it

I can pass gibralta with subs but not other fleets.
I honestly didnt try subs with suez canal but panama isnt a problem to pass while at war with US..oddly
I normaly avoid it tho if I have a small fleet
