Cancel orders on enemy contact doesn't work properly

[Pounder]

One thing I think has changed with conquests is if you have a unit heading towards an assigned GOTO, your unit does not stop immediately upon meeting the enemy unit.

Your unit will go right by until it has finished its full movement, in fact; it will actually re-route around the enemy to pass by him.

I think the the unit should stop on meeting the enemy to give you a chance of attacking him. What typically happens is the enemy gets to attack you first.

Can you upload a save just before this happens?

isn't this a preference?

Cancel Orders for Friendly Combat Unit
Cancel Orders for Enemy Combat Unit

works for me when checked

I do have "Cancel Orders for Enemy Combat Unit" enabled.

The problem is when you are travelling some distance after using a GOTO and you encounter the enemy going into the fog of war. You will go around the enemy rather than stopping right away to battle.

The enemy then gets first chance to attack even though you may have had one or two movement points left.

This is a save file. I am Spain at war with the Austrians.

Cancel orders on enemy combat is enabled.

Watch Cavalry ride past the Hussars without stopping, giving the Austrians a chance to attack on me first when I should have had the first chance to attack.

Edit: You will have to hit the end turn button twice from this save.
