Strange battle in 1.03

[SpaceViking]

I was playing the Russians in 1.03 and in 1945 I was still battling the Germans. I attacked just south of Riga with 2 huge stacks of units and drove all the German troops out but did not take over the province. I had done the "coordinate arrival" option for both of them. Meanwhile the Germans kept sending in a trickle of units which I defeated one by one. But this caused me to lose ORG each time and eventually over a few weeks the whole stack (like 70 divisions) completely ran out of ORG and disappeared! Several times during the combat my units were all alone in the province. Is there some reason I couldn't take control? The stacks were all in the target province and not moving.

A few people have reported losing armies for no reason lately. I have not experienced it though, but you are not alone.


Germans sending 1 division at a time to wear you down, the AI has been doing that since 2005 and it's IMO one of the most frustrating things in the game.

I believe this is DH, moved thread.

The problem wasn't the one unit at a time but that my guys never took over the sector despite being there unopposed. If they had taken the sector they would have started to get supplied and that would have been that.

BTW, I have a saved game in the middle of what happened, I believe. If you want it let me know how to send it to you.

Yes, it could be of use if the problem reproduces upon reload.

Just ZIP/RAR it and post it here

 

[SpaceViking]

OK, I will do so tonight when I get a chance.

There you go. Watch the battle near Riga and eventually the Russian divisions all die despite being alone in the province many times. I just tried it again and it took until March 18th.

That is why I hate the way DH only allows you to make 50% progress. It should be much higher imo, like 80

What do you mean by "progress"?

What do you mean by "progress"?

How far you can advance into the province during combat. (I believe its something like if youve made no progress, you can only make it halfway in during combat; if you're halfway in and combat starts, you can only get 3/4 of the way).
