Default USMC Campaign in Vietnam

Hi

I am playing the first campaign, USMC in Vietnam. I have found that many formations in South Vietnam's OOB are in fact marines.
I have bought them for one mission support as captured units (so they have the experience and names of USMC). Strangely during the deploy they don't have USMC flags, but a red one with yellow border. When I have generated a battle and done the same they have a regular USMC flag. Where from came the difference?

Did you buy them as captured or as allies?.

Allied - own leader names and statistics, own flag. (yellow and red stripes for ARVN)
Captured - your national leader names, flag and characteristics.

I understand the difference. Marines as captured, and some South Vietnam Scouts as allies. Those marines don't have S.Vietnam's flag, but they have some strange one - plain red with yellow border.
I was able to recreate the problem two more times that day. I even have a save game. I have tried some more yesterday after WinSPMBT restart and everything went fine.

I just tried this as an experiment.

Set up a 67-71 USMC campaign vs NVA + VC.
Buy USMC core.
Buy ARVN forces as both allies and as captured as the supports in the purchase screen.

All worked as expected. Captured had USMC leaders, stats and ID tags. Allied had normal ARVN data.

The only thing I can think is happening is some sort of data error at your end - perhaps it is worth running a disk scan on your PC and seeing if you have lost clusters etc?.

(I'll presume that you have not edited the USMC OOB - it is the stock one?)

If that does not work (after a restart & re-purchase from your previous save point, it wont fix the error you already have) - then it may be worth attaching the save game

Cheers
Andy

(Plain red ID tag with a yellow border is the RED OOB, AFAIR)

The disc is fine, must have been a memory corruption, because as I have mentioned previously now everything works fine.
