possible bug

It's probably a ski unit in the snow. Or it could be a ski unit not working correctly on normal ground. Of course with it being a scenario, anything is possible.

No, I've seen the same thing with standard US squads on August '44 France maps. I only had it happen once and I just thought it was something I missed when I was playing.

But I have definately seen it happen too. If it occurs again, I'll try and get a save.

Save games would be great specically one where you saved just before this happened then replaying the turn shows it happening again.

For me, it was just a quick battle that I saw it in.

It has been there for a while, but the trouble with this bug is that it is rare, and non-repeatable so just about impossible to debug.

Since it is rather rare, and not to be relied on, the fact that some rallies will get you back to "full" status can be attributed to a really good NCO

!

It'll be some minor line in the spaghetti, somewhere or other, and if I can ever get a debug save that has it reasonably reliably occuring, I'll be able to trace into it. That is the advantage of doing things with Borland C++ and its integrated source-line debugger, over the old DOS Watcom C++ where you had to do printfs to a TXT file (sheer joy, not

Yep, I just considered it a favorable 'heat of battle' roll and I'm not overly worried about it. It just adds to the uncertainty of combat.
