Jellachich Corps during play of the Austerlitz scenario spent 5 turns moving up and down the Traun Confluent. I could not attck them either. Some special river move going on here or just a bug? (pic attached)

Strange...the AI has made good use of the Bateaux to move some slow supply units fast over the river, but for what purpose? May be was caught by the speedy land move of the French... as a trick you could load the game in AI move and see what was planned ?

Yeah i did load it up from the AI side and there were no Bateaux's i could see! The stack just seemed to be moving up and down the river on its own?

I think I saw the same thing on the other side in that scenario. When playing as the Austrians, one of the French corps appeared just sitting in the middle of the Danube upstream from Wien.

Both sides have riverine units in that scenario, but what appeared on the map didn't seem to show them. Ie, I didn't see a riverine unit in the river, but the icon for the corps\leader. If the troops were loaded on a transport, I think I'd expect to see the transport on the map.

I wasn't quite sure what the AI was doing with them out there. It was near the end, and I'd massed my Russians and what was left of the Austrians outside Wien. I was waiting for a big French attack to try to win the scenario. That's essentially how I'd won as the French when I'd played that side first. That was when I saw this one corps out in the river, and the AI never did want to make that big attack. Maybe I was just too strong for it. I got a stalemate from that game by sitting there like that. But it was right at that time that I was expecting a massed attack that I saw the AI with the corps floating in the river.

I'll check under which condition the AI can use riverine move despite the formal interdiction to do so in NCP ;)

I checked and it don't make sense, perhaps I'm missing something in the code, but everything is checked as it should be. Do you have the save around, with the previous turn?
