War of 1812 question

Hi there.

Small question - I am doing a PBEM and by 1815 (almost) the British still don't have received the "Washington burning" expedition. Is it normal, or are the chance of the expedition arriving less than 100% ?

Thank you !

1. Napoleon must abdicate: 33% chance per turn starting January 1814

2. Napoleon must go into exile: After #1, after March 1814

3. Cockburn & Ross's Chesapeake Force: after #2, no sooner than July 1814, 50% chance per turn

The fleet arrival is set to be for a human player only. Are you sure you didn't process an AI turn?

A related note: Has the New Orleans expedition appeared? Was Cockburn with it?

Perhaps a save upload, with at least \Backup1 and \Backup2 so I can generate a ScriptReport.txt.

Thank you.

This means that if Nappy did not abdicate, he did not go into exile and thus no reinforcements ?

What are the condition for the exile ? Automatic one turn after Napoleon abdicate, if before march 1814 ?

No news of the NO expedition... yet

Exile is automatic once Abdication occurs. Earliest is March 1814, but then anytime Abdication occurs.

Please upload your saved game, Current Turn, plus \Backup1 and \Backup2

Thank you very much. The Washington burning expedition popped up in december 1814 (I posted the thread in November) so it is working fine - and it threw my opponent plans off-balance. As for NO, an English army just landed !

Everything works fine. Thank you for your time !
