Military Units that are stuck abroad

We have always had some cases and complaints about military units that were stuck in another country and could not be transported back.

There was always a good reason for that but some players where not able to move these units back home, probably, among others, because the messages and reasons were not clear enough.

This problem is frustrating for the player, even if the player himself created a bad supply situation and caused the problem in the first place.

we have now resolved this problem once and for all.

Independent of the reason, or the level of supplies, a player will be able to move units back home.
even with bad shortages, the units will be loaded on transport planes and moved back.

There are only two basic conditions:

1. The country must have transport airplanes that can perform the transport.
2. The units are moved back home, meaning the player is moving them to their country of origin, the country that owns the units.

We hope that this change will end all, not very frequent, cases where players got very frustrated about the impossibility of moving units back home.

Moving Corporations

To move a corporation from one country to another, the moving corporation must be at least 48 game months old and
The last move of the corporations was at least 48 months before and
the receiving country must have all the workers and professionals available that are needed for the corporation.

Will it take a few days for the update to take hold? As of right now I still get the error:


"Waiting for Supplies

This military unit is not sufficiently supplied for the transport.

The unit is waiting for supplies.


You can airlift this unit when the supplies have arrived."

The log has changed and now it tells me:

"Feb 20 4395 Note: there is no Military Base or Remote Depot in the neighborhood of Royal Interceptor Wing 04 to load weapons, gasoline and supplies."

Am I missing something when it comes to the Depots? It's not letting me build one and it doesn't let me move the unit back. I do have the transport craft needed.

Ty you very much for the fix.

It took some time longer for the fix to take hold.
we thought it was a bit risky and tested some more, than installed on one world, now completed the installation of the upgrade on all worlds.

The fix works.
I tested it on some units that were stuck for a long time.

We think that the complexity of using units in places outside your country is now reduced.
