I looked through the bug shortlist and didn't see this, nor do I remember reading about it from anywhere else, so hopefully I'm not boring people with an already known bug.

In SP games I've occasionally noticed that it seems like the AI's armies can take provinces that they should have to fight your armies for. Your armies are lined up, you and the computer advance on each other and your armies pass through each other, taking the province they were just at and vice versa. For a long time I just assumed I was misremembering how our lines were drawn up and let them sneak through somehow, but I just watched another player dealing with the same thing and I am sure that something funny is going on. Unfortunately I don't have turn files to show this bug in action, I was not really thinking about it at the time and such bugs tend to be hard to reproduce.

I am not quite sure what it is letting them do so. I notice that it tends to happen when they have armies in multiple provinces that could attack your one province. So perhaps it has something to do with attacking one province from several at once? This most certainly has nothing to do with stealth units sneaking in as the nations involved were MA Ulm and Ashdod.

Either that, or occasionally the army size reports you get are horribly, horribly distorted to the point where small armies look huge and vice versa.
