I was playing a game as both sides with the AI turned off and I got to summer 1776. I had moved my British fleet to Boston in May so that it would be ready in June to ferry Leslie's Army to New York. All of a sudden it's August and Grey's Army shows up as the second contingent without Leslie showing up. Leslie didn't show up through September.
The game before I had a problem with Leslie showing up in Nova Scotia instead of Boston which the British controlled. I had my fleet in Boston. I decided to rerun and figured that Leslie would show up in Boston the next time. Several tries later and I decided to move my fleet to Nova Scotia and wouldn't you know it but Leslie didn't show up at all. Leave my fleet in Boston and Leslie shows up in Nova Scotia, move my fleet to Nova Scotia and Leslie pulls a no show.
Is there some connection between reinforcements showing up and where and the AI settings? I tried the least aggressive AI stance and no FOW help and it seems like the British reinforcements are a little screwy from what I've seen normally. I do have a saved game of Grey being on the map without Leslie's first contingent. Kind of wrecks a game when reinforcements are all screwy.
