HQs assigments failures

[Taifun]

For the third time during my game with petedalby, my front troops start the turn without an attachment to the HQ. From what I have observed, the computer reassigns different units to my headquarters than the ones I reassigned during my turn. This causes my units to be without attachment to the headquarters when my opponent's turn begins, to be much more vulnerable, and to be easily destroyed. Has anyone else detected this unit reassignment error with their headquarters? I think this was reported before...

Thanks for the report, I'll have to take another look as to why this might be happening

[HarrySmith]

Yes I have reported this a few times. Still doing it, not all the time but often at critical times.
Also some fighter units go from auto to intercept only. Again I have learnt now to check this.

[Hubert Cater]

There was an issue where HQs assigned to Automatic could possibly steal in range units from other HQs that were assigned to Manual or Auto-Assist.

I've amended this so that Automatic can only possibly steal from other HQs that are also assigned to Automatic.

Beyond that the only thing I can see from my end is that a unit may end the turn attached to an HQ, but is possibly out of range at that point for proper attachment.

In that case when things are re-calculated, the unit will no longer be attached and indeed start on the enemy's turn unattached.

Could this possibly explain it?

[HarrySmith]

I definitely do not believe it is an out of range issue. I check this thoroughly. I do notice that it often happens when there are multiple attacks on the same unit (unit may retreat but still in range of HQ)

I have not been able to identify any clear pattern. However, I have noticed that units which end their turn adjacent to enemy forces and have taken heavy damage will sometimes appear unattached to any HQ at the start of my next turn, even when they are well within command range. This is particularly frustrating because the units affected are often among the most valuable and important on the battlefield.
