Units Being Transported Appearing At Other Places

[NAVMAN]

Playing scen #12 as Allies,ver 2.30.Was transporting units to Lunga,including 8th Reg/2nd Mar Div and 2nd Tank Batt/2nd Marine Div.All seemed normal till ground combat phase of next turn, when elements of these units appeared at Rabaul and Buna???. The unit at Rabaul was destroyed. I was able to evacuate the unit at Buna. Any ideas? First time I have seen anything like this. Thx.

I posted a couple of weeks ago with a similar situation. Japanese units unloading at Shortlands appearing at Gavigamana several days later. I stepped back a couple of turns and the problem did not repeat. I happened a few turns after upgrading to 2.3 so perhaps that was the cause.

My game is a PBEM scenario 17. The only difference between the the first and second run was the first time the TF "retreated from enemy CV", and on the second I had it set to patrol/no retire.

Bilbow;Thx for the reply.Don't remember any special circumstances
in my example. Too bad all the troops did not go to Rabaul, I may have had an unexpected opportunity for capturing the place.

My troops were all non-combatant- a couple of AA units and a base force that the Japs can never afford to lose were what appeared. My opponent (Dascateer- a classy and very strong player) was gracious enough to allow the backtrack. That was a game-month ago, and there's been no repeat, in that or any other game. What was most odd about it as I tracked though the turns was that for several days they did not exist anywhere. They had simply vanished from the game, reappearing days later. Really weird.

We know about this bug it has been around for several patches. We are having a hard time isolating it so any saves before and after would help a great deal.
