Question on transports

I had a disaster happen and not sure why. Are transports required in OMB's, if so why? and do they need to be linked in each zone back to a certain area?
I'm a bit confused on this, thanks in advance.

Please zip and upload the saved game folder for this game.
It should not happen!

Ok, I thought it was because I was missing something in the rules
.
Tried to upload folder, but it exceeds the maximum size. Is it the TRN file that you would need?

Thanks for helping us figure this out
Did you zip the folder? How large is it?

My pleasure, a very nice game! Glad I can help.
I did zip the folder but it was 9.55 mb zipped.

Ouch! That's big.
Can you remove some of the older backup-turns from the zipfile, i.e. those older than 2 or 3 (provided the error has occured in the current turn)?

Got it, but I need current + Backup1 folder.
The seuence of folders is confusing

I was able to retrieve, and will upload again. Which backups should I delete? I have backup files 1-14. I assumed they went in ascending order.
EDIT: nevermind it looks like you need 1 and 14, so I will delete some in the middle

Got it.
In tecnical terms: When a unit appears or is unlocked in a 'blocked' region, the game engine tries to move it to an adjacent unblocked region. In this case, that's water, with no transports, so the units are destroyed.
AFAIK, This logic is in there for units in water transit that get caught in a 'freeze'.
In game terms: Those units shouldn't even be in the scenario
Will be fixed in upcoming patch
You can continue your game, although I suspect you just took a VP hit [or the AI gained some VP
]
Thanks for the report and your patience.
