1st Guards Airborne Division x n

Post by 56ajax »

Everytime I create a Guards Airborne it creates the 1st. Currently I have 4 x 1st Guards Airborne Division.

Do you have a save you can zip up and attach here before you make a new unit? I just created 3 in a test and they were all named properly. What version are you using?

I can confirm the issue with GC44. building one at a time i got dupes for 1-3 div
They may not be detected as dupe as the fresh-built ones do start with Guards in name but missing the Guards Tag/Status

on the other hand the 8th rocket Rocket Div I was able to built does not have Guards in their OB Suffix but was built with Guards in their name and Guards Tag/Status

I see what Dennis sees, that the Guards Airborne Divisions are built without the guards flag, and that they start numbering at 1. I don't see that additional units are all named as the 1st, so a save for this would be useful. I'll add the non-guards status to the bug list.

The scenario designer may have used this combination to reflect the historic situation/combat performance plus name more properly (as to not give the +10NM).

Çomparable to how Soviet mountain divisions shouldn't get the mountain terrain/any bonuses for the most part, which would require some weird mixed setup.

Its a server game I am playing. Playing with the current version but it was started on a previous version.

Joel can pull saves from server games, AFAIR he just needs the names of both players

I downloaded the latest save and built gd airborne divs and they numbered from 1 on up. They didn't have the gd flag set, so we'll try to fix that bug. If when fixed, I can't repeat duplication, it will remain a mystery how it happens for you. Thanks for the report that led Dennis to discover the guard status bug.

Did you advance the game to the next turn and build some more? In my game it starts back at 1.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow.

AFAIR they get the Guards flag during logistics phase thus you are able to build 1-2-3 guards without flag again.
