Default First turn, destroyed?

I am in the middle of a generated campaign, assault mission. After finishing with the deployment I click start and the enemy artillery starts firing without hitting anything. While watching the enemy artillery firing I see there are several red marks on the mini map, all that is normal of course.
So, enemy artillery stops firing and I click on start turn. First thing I notice is that perhaps half the red marks have dissapeared from the mini map, thinking that the AI just moved them I wasn't worried, but when I moved the map to look at the units still spotted I noticed several BMP-23A units that when I moved the cursor over them it said "destroyed". For all of the BMP-23As there! There are other enemy units that are fine, but not these BMPs. When I right click on them it still says destroyed. My units haven't fired at any of them yet and I haven't used any artillery or aircraft yet.
What am I missing?

It really would be helpful if you stated who you were playing as and who you were playing against and on what date, since searching through all the oobs for "BMP-23" or "BMP 23" without the dash etc, is a complete and utter pain...

being instantly dead when they appear on map is usually a sign of the OOB designer giving the unit 0 crew, and that can be checked in seconds in Mobhack, provided one knows what actual OOB to look in for whoever uses a "BMP-23A".

Cheers
Andy

I was Greece vs Bulgaria The campaign started in April 2008, and I think the current battle is either April or soon after that.

I have the save files too if needed.

Open Mobhack, open Bulgarian OOB, find BMP-23A unit 67. Crew is 0(zero). Result is a dead unit, as stated in previous post.

Bug will be fixed in the next release.

Well I didn't know that when such a thing happens it means there is a problem with the OOB. If I did I wouldn't ask and I would just state the finding.
I didn't know if it was a problem to begin with, thus this thread...

Anyway, thanks for checking.

Default Re: First turn, destroyed?

When I checked all the OOB's I found a total of four units without crews. All have been corrected for the next patch.

Two were Canadian spotter aircraft and the other one I forget offhand but it's all fixed for the next patch anyway.

Thanks, I'll hold off invading Bulgaria as well. LOL
