Do not go by the assault values when you pass over the icon at the bottom you must click on the unit

I just started scen 15 over and was clicking on some units in China and noticed that as soon as I clicked on them their assault value dropped from what the unit icon at the bottom says when I pass over it.

When I pass over a unit icon at the bottom of the screen it will give me a completly different assault number than what the assault number is when you actually click on the unit detail screen. I dont know which is correct.

Then when I exit and pass over the unit icon at the bottom again it corrects itself to the assault stregth in the unit detail screen.

Can anyone else confirm this???

I can confirm this and continually reproduce it. The assault values displayed are either stale or completely off. However, if you click on the unit icon on the map, the list of units that are displayed will have correct assault values. And after you've done so, the mouseover values on the map for those units are now correct.

I've discovered a workaround--simply list all ground units with the G key. After the list displays, close it. And like magic, the assault values on the main map when you move your mouse over the ground units will be correct.

I also cross-posted this in the support forum. Matrix appears to be aware of the problem.

I think it's the giant cursor flying over their heads scared 'em @#$&less.....remember, they didn't have computers back then so they didn't know a cursor when they saw one....[:D]

LOL!! A jarhead with a genuine sense of humor!

I know when the first cursor passed over me in the mid-80s, it was a scary experience.
