[SOLVED] 1.00.7U51: Huge deployment bug - lost units

Post by ncc1701e »

Sorry for my PBEM opponents, I was willing to reproduce a problem in a PBEM againt Robbie. Here it is, with 1.00.7U51 beta patch but I wonder if it is not in 1.00.06 (to be checked by someone else).

To reproduce:
1. Play the Europe 1939 scenario
2. Hotseat mode (to go faster)
3. Don't do anything and finish your turn on both sides until this is Allies turn starting on September 15th, 1939.

Never press the undo button; it will be the undoing of your units.

Yeah, yeah, that was a really bad joke, I will stop now [:D]

Bad joke indeed when you are losing a Tank corps and a Mechanized corps both at the same time...

Two options here:
1. Either the Undo button is undoing the previous deployment
2. Either the Undo button is only for movement and in that case it must not be allowed

This is why I never touch the undo button in any game. Always buggy

Exact same problem with latest beta patch i.e. 1.00.7U6. Reproduction scenario is the same.

Beware of this deployment bug too. Not sure if it is in the official load or not:
