I am sure I was careful to only use correct nations but i may have got some wrong. this file is very large so hard to review.

there are for sure some convoys who will have neutral ships and enemy ships - It was correct at the time and should still be correct now.
I do not think that there will be any allied (to germany) ships in a convoy as the escort etc will attack them.

So the sink allied ship bug should not be a issue for convoys

Thank you Trevally, I think most of the problems came from us not informing the final player on how we set "free" nations, and how their ships are used in campaign, so that players don't know what to do when they meet a neutral ship in game. As you said, red messages are the best way to dispense this information, making sure that the player will read it.
