im having trouble with ai units that dont have anywhere to retreat too hanging around till they have an undefended province they can retreat into and take control of it. if i surround a unit it gets destroyed but if there is a province for them to retreat to they start to retreat. but if i capture all the places they can retreat to they just stay where they r till all my units have moved away to leave an undefended province they can retreat to. surly if they cant retreat they should get destroyed as soon as they cant retreat to 1 of their own provinces. ive also noticed that japan cheats. i took all their provinces. but as soon as i take the last 1 they steal a province from someone else and make that their capial. i spent 10yrs game time chasing them round the world trying to defeat them. at 1 point they stole washington dc and made that their capital. as USA was still nuetral i couldnt get at them till i spent ages influencing the US to let me have access. the USA didnt join the allies till japan was finally defeated in 1955 they then declared war on SU within an hr of joining then did do anything to help in the war till SU was nearly beaten. then they sent me (UK) about 500divs on loan. but as my supplies and tc couldnt handle that many units mine started to disband. is their an easy way to return units on loan? it took ages returning each unit 1 at a time.

You should keep your at least 1 division in the places enemy divisions can retreat to. Sometimes they move really slow and it may take some time before they reach the next province. When you capture a province the enemy is retreating to, and you leave before he arrives, the enemy divisions will recapture that province. Keep 1 division in the province and when the enemy divisions arrives, it will be destroyed.

Your Japan problem is I think just bad luck.
