Yeah, that is what I had recalled.  "Summonsed to Berlin" is the correct use of that word.

Unless he's being served with a summons, summonsed is incorrect.

It should be summoned.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

He was given a "summons" and therefore the use of summonsed is correct.  I think the error you are probably making is thinking a "summons" is only a judicial process.  I assume that from your use of the word "served".

However the first definition of the word given in the COD is "an authoritative call to attend at a specific place for a specific purpose."   That is what is occurring here.

Granted, the word is not often used, but there is no error in using it in this context.

No, its just an uncommon usage these days.   But it is a WWII game so I assume they decided to use the word that would have been more common in that time period.

No one ever actually used "summonsed" that way in normal (or probably even legit legal) usage.  It is just a designer being pretentious, I think.  "Summons" as a verb has always been artificial as fuck.

Good to know you have knowledge of what everyone has ever said.   You could use your powers for good and assist the Mueller investigation.

Good to know you haven't lost your flair for strawman arguments.  You could get a job with the Trump administration with that skill.

Sorry you are right.  Your superpower is limited to knowing if anyone has ever used the word summonsed.

This is the game forum. Take that shit to the kiddy forums like the backroom and the main OTR forum. This is serious shit here.

Quote. If 2nd Army HQ (German) is destroyed it wasn't automatically reconstituting the following turn. The bug was specific to 2nd Army HQ as it's the only German HQ that arrives as a reinforcement which created an issue under certain circumstances. Fixed.

Is this related-ish to the problem I was having?   :P
