Slight display bug

Post by rickier65 »

I was cycling through units in reaction phase, and noticed that that the targetting information may not being clearing in the panel at lower left.

See attached screen shot, left side shows 3/744 Engr/2 direct targeting the 1/3 5th Bn/3 squad in destroyed building on south side of road. I cycled to the next unit 3/744 Engr/4, which I had given an area fire target to house on North side of road (during preceding order phase). But as you can see while targetting rubberband goes to the correct target and the first of target data is correct, the bottom line, which is usually blank for area fire, show instead the same 1/3/ 5th Bn/3 squad. I think the bottom line of the display isn't clearing when I select the next unit.

If move away, and loose that bottom line, I can go back to the last unit and it properly shows it as having area fire on the house on North side with no Russian unit identified.

I noticed this same behavior with my Stug IIII, which had just destroyed a T26, when I went to the next unit which was an Infnatry squad doing are fire, it also showed the tanks direct fire target info.

Let me know if this explanation isn't clear.

Thanks
Rick

I did some more testing this morning. I used the Return Road to Kharkov set battle this time, and was able to reproduce the problem.

It appears to be associated with moving to the next unit using the HUD display rather than selecting the unit on the map.

So if you select a unit with a direct ID'd target, then select a unit from the HUD that has an area fire order (which means that it's bottom target info line should be blank), then you will see that it actually shows the previous units target. If you selet that next unit using the map, it clears the bottom line as it should.

Thanks,
Rick
