[DRG]

If a player autodeploys that uses the same basic routines as the AI uses in a human vs AI game and the code has been deliberately written to occasionally deploy some units ( not many ) outside the normal deployment area to keep the human player on his toes and to not fall into complacency ASSUMING that they have free unopposed movement to X point on the map because that is beyond the standard deployment zone and it sounds like your opponent knows this can happen and has used it . There is no other way to get units like that beyond the start line so it's NOT a "bug" and we aren't going to change it. He caught you off guard........surprise....war is frequently like that
