I dont know if this has been reported but here it goes:

I'm playing Vic 1,03b, starting a new game with Russia. I'm planing on moving the cossacs to my OE border, so I selected them all and then I see the create new unit button. Since all units are in different provinces I press the button to see hat happens. The screen apears, I move my cossacs to the Azov army, and ... there they are ... IN AZOV. Then I load my China game and move my units from Canada to Hong Cong! So I no longer have weak borders since Scoty works for me! One unit is enough to guard a border, since reinforments can arrive i seconds! SECONDS I SAY!! Now this is what I call an exploit!

Philip, can you post a screenshot of this? I'd be very interested to learn how this is accomplished. So I can make sure I never do it, of course... ;)

Sorry, no screenshot, but just select ANY 2 (just 2 at a time) armys, click the create new unit button and move units from one to another. Dont forget to say beam them up Scoty :)

So you need to have a unit in the target province? That's gonna make sending an away team into the other king's palace a little more difficult.
 
I just tried it as well and it works pefectly. I can shuttle my reinforcements between the Greek islands instantly. Uhh...maybe this thread should be moved to the bug forum?

Yes, hide it quick, before my MP opponents see it.
 
Well, assuming this works in MP as well, it probably removed. I wonder if it works in HOI too?

It works for navy too. And I managed to move my entire army to the ottoman border by feb. 15 1836. It will fall like a house of cards :)

And only 90 years early.. Just a park a MW or two in the Sea of Marmara, and sneak in an invasion force. Also, if you hold the Bosphorus, Johnny Turk won't be able to transfer troops between the Eastern and Western fronts. Wait until he goes to war with Egypt, then hit him in the back.
 
I just tried with HOI with the same sequence of clicks and it does not let you move the guys from one stack to another, so I guess this will be pretty easy to patch.

God, I hope not
 
Somebody, quick, hide this thread!
 
Ah ha, just figured it out. You move the divisions between armies in the create new unit screen! I thought you meant that the actual army moved. Bravo! Now, let us never speak of this again, especially to peope I am playing against.
 
OK, I just checked the bugs logged thread, and there seems to be no mention of this before. Good work on finding this Philip XXXV.

I believe that this will probably what to wait for 1.04 to be fixed as the code for this is (I think) internal and can not be modded.
