When starting my second battle these core units had become ghost formations, ie they were shown on the map but not in the hq roster. When these ghosts units fired they caused the game to crash. So if curious my advice is not to cross attach in this way!

When I start my next battle I shall attempt to cross attach them again to see if that solves the problem. By cross attach I mean to use the cross attach button on the tool bar as opposed to the cross attach formation option on the roster.
Apparently, the crash occurred twice just as one of these units started firing AAA at one of my Tempests diving to attack. I beleive he fixed it by turning the weapons off on the offending units. We've playing serveral turns since with no problems.

Now as to his Panthers turning my Shermans into ghosts!!!..............
