A LOT of supply at Salamaua...

[Synjin]

Playing a PBEM game as the allies and I've marched 1 divisions worth of RCT's as well as 2 brigades of NGF up the road from PM to Lae. After forcing the IJA out of Wau, I then split my forces and marched all but one NGF regiment into Marilinian. That remaining 1 NGF bde I sent to Salamaua to take out the 2 IJA HQ's that had retreated there. Salamaua was captured next turn. When I clicked on the Salamaua dot, I noticed that I had captured some supply there... over 1.3 billion supply! [X(]

The base hadn't been built up, it was still a dot as opposed to a flag, and the only time my opponents IJA forces had been in it, they had been on their way to Wau, or retreating back to Lae. Any spontaneous supply bugs that people have seen that would cause this?

It sounds like the supply went below zero and some bug caused the number to "wrap around". If negative numbers are not defined for supply, as well they shouldn't be, then the number would become extremely large.

Maybe something's wrong with the very location - I have noticed a tendency of the Japanese AI to hang around Salamaua for no purpose. Convoys appear, unload troops and supplies, then other convoys seem to pick up the troops again, and all this covered by at least one surface TF with CAs and sometimes BBs. This has been going on for weeks, the TFs hang around Salamaua even under heavy air attacks - I have sunk at least two CAs due to accumulated damage from P-39s on Naval Attack bombing and strafing for days [X(].
