well i was playing on the world map and i sent an army from greenland to sweedden but the porblem was there was an army on it so i got in perfect range with 100's of miles to spare he was well in range. i decide to attack his army , porblem ws when i clicked his army there was no attack button on it . i just lost all my movment and possibly the game since i was not able to take some of his land |

Do you mind taking a screen-shot of the event? I sort of have an idea what you are talking about, but an image would help us to better understand. Kapso |

Zoom in on the map and make sure the other player's marker is indeed within your range. If the are, post a screenshot for us. |

This is an issue that happens in maps where units are at high latitudes - the circle is larger than the actual movement range. You can get the same effect if you set movement to +30% on the world map, build an army in Russia and make one move toward Kazakhstan. After one move the Kazakh flag will be in the movement circle by a visible amount even on the default zoom, but you will be unable to claim the region. The distance between Russia and Kazakhstan is given as 1320 miles, which is two moves with a movement of 650 miles (+30%), but which appears about 50 miles inside the circle after only one move. I haven't noticed this as a problem in maps other than world, but it could be that it exists elsewhere but is only most pronounced on the world map because it goes in latitude from 0 to 90 and the movement is so large. |

Clarification of above: the circles are imperfect, this has been pointed out before - but they are more imperfect when large and at high latitudes (they do distort in shape to try to correct this, but at least on the world map, they're particularly imprecise). |

I'm just talking in general about having the same issue on the same map and giving the best account of what happened and how to repeat it that I can without having a premium account to run a world map game and get a screenshot. |
