Disappearing German Air Transports?

Has this been addressed? I have noticed several times in solitaire play that at some point after the beginning of Global the JU52 unit the Germans have at start just disappears! Is this a bug that has been fixed or is it just me???

I need a saved game and instructions on how to reproduce to fix this.

It is possible that the unit was selected to move and then somehow it never moved to a new hex. That will leave it in the "Moving Stack" and effective;y out of the game. That condition can be corrected by a beta tester.

But again, I would like to know how to reproduce the original problem to prevent it from reoccurring.

I'm way past that in my current game, but it has occurred before. Next game I start I'll save often and should it occur again I'll send saved games, before and after.
Thanks!

units never dissapear, they end up somewhere. if you make me a save game. I can find it with debug

I assume it is still lost in your current game

also, if you have not build a new air transporter and used it, there a good chance that the auto save is still there

the wif rulebook is my bible

I work hard, not smart.

beta tester and Mwif expert

if you have questions or issues with the game, just contact me on Michaelbaldur1@gmail.com

OK, so I goofed which is not really surprising! It's not a huge deal since it was free at the beginning of the game and early in the war it is really only good for transporting a division or a MTN unit. I have an Italian Air Transport on the board now with 9 move vs the 5 move of the JU-52, so I'm ready for Barbarossa in a couple months! Hoping to trap some factories and unhinge a Russian line with my German Airborne unit!
