In every case, the "Armour" buy list does not show it 2nd page.

Only from 6/41, with the east front opening up, the buy list becomes 2 pages long.

I suspect, though, that this is in error, and that there are a handful of formations which should be available, but cannot be bought, because the list does not roll over: When buying for a single battle with the same date, one gets nearly 2 pages full of formations ...

And when I check the SAME DATE ( 5 / 40 ) across three battle types ( Generated Battle, Long Campaign and Generated campaign )the results are the same in all three cases. No deviation whatsoever so go back and check the actual dates that appear for the battles because there WILL be a difference beween what's seen at 2/40 and what's seen at 4/40 and what's seen at 5/40

You claim your LC is set to start 2/40 as the Germans...... so what date is the first battle ?? It won't be 2/40 becasue there are no battles scripted in the code for 2/40. The first one will be 4/40 or 5/40

If you set up a generated campaign you WILL get a fictional 2/40 battle as you will with a generated battle and the Armour list for 2/40 in a Generated battle will be the same as is offered in a Generated Campaign but you will not see the same list in a Long Campaign becasue a long campaign will not start 2/40 and therefore you will see a different list.

HOWEVER....... with all the talk of modded OOB's and German LC's starting 2/40 ( they don't as noted above ) it threw me off and when all the tests came back the way I expected them to I didn't see that formation 301 ( NbFz Zug ) SHOULD be showing up as well but it's not and I think it's related to the fix we put in that corrected the problem we had of lists showing a second page available that turned out to be blank because there really wasn't anything else on the list even though the game thought there should be
