Just a theory.

Nah, they were fighting indies and such. Normal Heavy Infantry and then some of Jotunheim units.

After using a unit for 100s of battles you sort of get a feel for how they work. Since it happened over several battles vs. different creatures in different formations (including behind and in front) and the enemies were normal I'm sure it is a glitch.

I'm a professional programmer also and think I can tell a bug.

The ONLY possible explanation would be if a unit can run out of ammo for 6 or 7 turns straight. Something that I've never seen in this game under any circumstances.

The bug is obviously something that happens rarely and the fact that I still haven't been told where to email these files disappoints me.

If that happened to me in a long PBEM game that had been going on for weeks, it would be nearly infinately frustrating. Believe me, those units die fast when they pull their daggers and rush heavy infantry or giants

The file I have shows the following:

1) slinger unit rushes giants when given 3 chances to fire at them. This had happened the previous 5 turns also.

2) And the PROOF that they were set properly to fire is that in the tower battle that follows they fire at the giants.

3) However! Oddly enough, the tower that is firing at the giants has missiles that also leave the "black cloud" of poison without them being poisonous. This is probably another bug unless towers get poison looking missles for some strange reason when playing Miasma.
