Seen this bug?

[HMFIC]

I apologize if this has been reported before and I have not fully investigated all the iterations of what I am about to report. Battleships can bomb 2 squares away, Destroyers only 1. Ive only tried this with these 2 ships next to an enemy land mass.
Battleships turn, hit "B" to bomb and indicate a square 2 blocks away and click mouse being careful to not move mouse cursor. Now its your Destroyers turn. Only the squares 1 block away are outlined in red, but notice that your cursor is still the bombing cross hairs 2 blocks away...and yes, you can click and you will envoke a bombing.
I dont know if this works with, say a Bomber and then Artillary...wouldnt that be sweet!

I think it's called the "infinite range bombard bug"

I've heard of it, but never tried it out.

Yep... You can do this with ICBM and artillery. That way, it's really infinite range...

Yep. found the bug by accident.

Here's a patch for you. Don't use it
