All 176 published cases now parse and run. Retreating passes 18 of 18,
building 7 of 7, civil disorder 13 of 13; movement is unchanged at 133 of
139.
The retreat and winter engine code was written before these cases and mostly
held up, but civil disorder was wrong in a way playing would never have shown.
It measured distance to a power's *home* centres. The rule is distance to the
centres it owns -- a Russia driven out of Moscow and holding Sweden measures
from Sweden -- so every power that had lost a home centre was disbanding the
wrong unit.
And it measured over the graph each unit moves on, which is wrong in both
directions. An army counts sea provinces it would have to be convoyed across,
so Albania is two steps from Naples rather than unreachable. A fleet counts
inland provinces it could never enter, so the Baltic is two from Warsaw. That
reads as nonsense until you notice what is being measured: not how the unit
would get home, but how far out of the way it is. A fleet in the Baltic is
still in the middle of Russia's business; one in the North Atlantic is not.
Civil disorder also only applies to the shortfall. A power that disbanded one
of the two it owed has half answered, and the automatic rule picks from what
is left rather than from what it started with.
