Union Bdes fighting each other

[Conny D]

Dunno if this has been brought up somewhere but its very puzzling. Happened several times now, and only very late in the war.
In detailed combat me as southrons, the enemy is still out of sight when shooting begins. The casualty messages that pop up clearly show there are some Union brigades fighting each other. I send a brigade in to get a clear sight and then i can confirm: The union troops actually fight one another, only a handfull first, then more and more. Needless to say these battles are pointless, the Union morale will be dwindling fast and CSA side can win without firing a single shot, without causing any casualties itself. WTF???
First i thought its because some Union bdes have rebellious disposition (weary soldiers refusing to fight on), but it can happen even when all union bdes have normal dispo, inspired or better!


HA! This bug already occured as Union player described in this thread

No solution of the problem mentioned so far.. too bad

I haven't seen this myself. If you can save the game when you see this and post the save file here, it would be a big help.

[Conny D]

Ok i zipped a savegame that i can send to you. Unable to upload here, zip is not supported. No way including zip in email except when mailing to support@matrixgames.com, but would prefer to address file directly to you.

Yep, He will be along shortly to give mailing instructions I'm sure. Cheers.

Files sent i think in the spring or so. Answer of any kind would'nt be bad, ideally a statement on how to fix this issue.

[ericbabe]

Sorry, please send the file again, as I don't seem to have any record of it in either my e-mail or in the directory where I normally put these things.

I've seen something like this many times, but with captured units.  Captured units, if they reform before they disappear, fire at any capturing units to their direct front.  Probably not the same bug, is my guess.
