Sorry, probably the question was already asked but i didn't found the answers : what is the exact order of the actions happening before the human player can play ?
Is it something like this ? :

1. AI supply management action
2. AI meteo management action
3. Sabotages action in the region (how many days take a depot, an old Fort and a railroad sabotage ?)
Next actions which are repeated each day :
4. 1st day detection/escape tests action for the units in the region
5. 1st movement action for the units in the region
6. 1st day combats and retreat tests


I need to know if a division going by train (so one day trip) will reach a neighbouring region where there is a enemy cavalery before it destroyed the railroad.
I need also to know if a force which is in the same region than an enemy cavalry will attack it before it destroy the railroad (i know it's in case of my force did succeed to detect and engage the enemy cavalry, but the detection/engage test is done before or after the sabotage ?).

Andatiep,

I do believe the division will be able to catch the cavalry before it destroys your rail line. Don't quote me on this though. ;) But, I believe it takes several days to destroy that rail line. Of course I could be completely off my rocker here also. :bonk:

Alas no, the destroy rail check is made before any movement...
