campaign 'sail to rest'

[grumbler]

I am having difficulty getting my battle fleets to sail. I can send cruisers out individually, no problem, but as soon as I order the battleships out they prepare to sail for 25 hours then when the time comes they go immediately to rest. Tried everything. Any thoughts? They aren't damaged, only one waypoint 500k away, no short range ships with them etc.

There is something odd about this. I think you have to make sure you don't give them new sailing orders. Maybe someone else can clarify this better than I have.

One bug that I have noticed is that, when you go to organize your task force, every order of every task force are resetted. So if you had order to some task force go out and sail plotted course and you did edit any of your task forces, that task force orders did get resetted aswell.

Seems to me this is another AI problem.

I don't change anything. I just give the sail order and let the time run through. They immediatley go to rest without leaving port. Just want to know if anyone else is having the same problem.

Possibly a stupid question, but are you remembering to give them a destination?
