Re: Possible glitch
Bug confirmed.
Any units that are floating on a lake hex when destroyed are not added to the type kill-count, nor are their points credited. Any killed pax are credited (count + score).
Thus in a normal beach assault this is not a problem (barge passengers in the main, barges are free) - just for any individual floater APCs and so on with swim capacity, that are not deployed in barges, and presumably any naval fire support craft.
Test scenario:
buy 3 M113 section and load the HQ into one, deployed on water hexes for beach assault. Oppose with a company of 13 T-55 at short range. All USA units destroyed PDQ. Score was 53 (the cost of HQ) and counts were 6 men killed (the HQ crew count). No vehicle kills counted, nor any points credited for the 3 M113, or M113 crews.
So there is something wrong with water (lake hex) kills (need to check the case of on destroyed bridge over water too, heliflopters shot down over lake hexes etc, etc) - added to the TBI list.
Good catch! (this one will probably have been there since the legacy DOS SP1 days.).
