"Target has changed" bug

[Feanor]

In game "Stratego 2B13" I can't attack the most western tower on the map (I have stack with H-Cav beside it) as it just gives me a "Target has changed" message every time I try.

Ill take this via email since its a laddergame

This has happened to me a few times as well. Units are not present till you refresh the screen, then they are visible.

This also just happened in my game cimmerians vs noopa.

I sent a troop ahead to scout and found area clear so moved up hy hero stack. Then had an in game message so reopened the game. Much to my surprise an 8 unit stack topped with a HL was now right next to my DK stack. Would not have moved my DK up if I had seen the HL stack, so this is definatly affecting games. And would not have seen it if not opening during opponents turn, so no idea how often it has happened.

Asked my teamate not to end his turn so you guys can check the bug out. Thanks.

Don't think it will affect the outcome as game is now to one sided, but may affect other games.

Sorry for the late response, I have been away on vaccation for a few days

Did any of your teammates scout the same area as you did (in the same turn)?
Or were you the only one from your team moving in that area?

Edit: Cimmerians_vs_nopa game has been paused while investigating...

[smursh]

I don't believe they did. Area was dark till I moved in my first unit.

Also a correction to my previous post. I reopened the game after moving, but before my teamate had moved so it was still our turn when his HL stack appeared.

When I went in to play my turn, smursh had already moved, and I could see the Horse Lord. After I played my turn, smursh had come back in and then saw the HL for the first time.

Ok,
thanks for your information.
I´ll investigate the code a bit and see if this is fixable.

For your game, do you need me to do any changes?

[Moonknight]

I'll leave that up to smursh to decide, he wouldn't have moved his hero stack into the open if he would have seen the HL (only the unit he scouted with should be there).

However, i think the game is pretty one-sided at this point that losing that hero stack will not change the outcome.
