Broken Sabers Is Indeed Broken

Post by jreebel »

Decided to play what looked like a quick and fun scenario this evening against the AI - Broken Sabers. Started over 4 times because I thought I was getting stuck in a loop because my computer had been on too long. Rebooted before the 4th time and it seemed to be ok - for a while. ThenI noticed that the Russian Cavalry could fire when mounted - but the horses have a fire cost of zero and that seems to be what counts. I had several instances where Russian Op Fire would keep shooting until the Germans finally sustained damage no matter how long it took. Finally gave up on turn 9 (of 10) when a Russian unit kept firing at a German in an IP in a forest with an attack factor of 2. Seemed like it would go on forever, so I hit the old Ctrl-Alt-Del combo and bailed.

Hard to believe that something this obivious - units firing at no cost - could go unfixed.

It snuck in with the 1.02 UPDATE.

Have you added the 1.02B TEMPORARY PATCH?

I have added the 102B patch. Did it a couple of months ago.

I double checked this evening and I did indeed add that patch. And I just got half way thru the Ambush scenario and ran into the same problem there. I guess no more playing any scenarios with horses until 1.03?

Unfortunately, it seems that way.

Fortunately, 1.03 is just around the corner.

I was already looking forward to it. Now even more so. Thanks for all the work you put into this, Jason

Thank you! Too kind!

Without the BETA BRIGADE and the rest of the CAMPAIGN SERIES LEGION, this wouldn't be possible.

Thanks to them all!
