Scenario: [WIP] Encircling Stalingrad

[DRG]

This would be almost amusing under other circumstances

If any of the troops shown in the screenshot above are moved the game moves the location of where they are back to the vehicle that is carrying them but they do not teleport back unless you unload them from the vehicle that is highlighted

I ended the turn then found three more up in a trench around hex 122,113

Those disappeared when a Romanian arty strike forced them to dismount from their actual carrying vehicles and that broke the cycle. What is strange is that there are supposed to be Romanians in those trenches but they and the dopplegangers don't see each other

It is conceivable that in "normal" game play a player may not even notice this as they would be concentrating on their units on their side of the line not on the other side of the map and as soon as they dismount any of them they would be removed from the other side of the map and it does not appear either side sees the other side when it involves dopplegangers

You could try rebuilding that with the troops dismounted to start

Dismounting the troops at start fixes it, but the error occurs again when remounting. I might be able to fix it by completely rebuying the aux forces, but right now I don't have the free time needed for this. For now, I will post this fixed version with the troops starting dismounted.

My first attempt at this seems to show this change fixed the problem

I mounted the units on the tanks after the game started and moved them. There was Romania arty and some tanks were hit and dismounted the infantry.

I have dismounted and remounted the SMG sections as well as rallied units that had discounted suppressed and had been rallied back

I am on turn 4 now and I have not found any dopplegangers anywhere on the map so if you have tell me where you found them and on what turn you found them

And BTW, the campaign is in slot 35 now

Sorry I miswrote: I meant that if I remount them in the editor, the error re-occurs. Remounting them ingame works.

OK. This simple fix seems to have solved the problem. Are there any other scenarios in this campaign where the same thing might happen?

[DRG]

The interesting mystery here is why those doppelganger units gravitated to trenches.

I don't expect to ever know the answer but it is interesting they always showed up in a trench

[Ts4EVER]

My only idea: the Russians start from the east, normally. I may have bought the aux troops, placed them in the trenches to check some los, then switched the sides and "Properly" placed them and that messed something up somewhere.

I suppose it's possible but the fix you made works and right now that's my prime concern
