I'll apologize if this has been covered before.
Has anyone noticed that some really funky stuff can happen in a campaign?
I tried to reassign some units to the AO formation.....poof....they instantly self-destructed upon reassignment. Talk about a lack of faith in the commander! :0) Naturally I had saved before the deployment, so no loss, but I was a bit perturbed at not being able to give the AO some company. AT guns, trucks, tanks, infantry, all poof. Too weird.
Then, after a battle, all the left over crewmembers (from burning tanks, tracks, etc.) show up in the unit list...in ADDITION to the original vehicle. After a few battles a platoon of tanks grows to a platoon of tanks and a platoon of crew.....which of course can be upgraded to whatever you like
Just for kicks I thought I'd see how far I can go....I'm still going. My original scout platoon of 2 squads, a Grayhound, and 2 .50 cal jeeps has grown to 3 grayhounds, 2 squads, and 7 rifle platoons! Heh heh heh. And my mechanized rifle platoon is doing even better.
I guess I should put all the extra crews in the back someplace and just play with the original formation....but that's when I found out about the AO unit problem. I figured I'd be good to give all these crews to the AO and just let him sit in the back somewhere on guard duty.....but then all the crew started dying....hehe...and even if the crew from a previous battle is left over and killed in the current battle, it still shows up in the repair list afterwards. They're like a plague, they just keep multiplying!!! LOL
Just wondering if anyone else has been having fun with this. I think it's a nice little "feature", but I'm sure it's driving someone nuts
Oh, and I haven't actually tried to track if the crews become new crews or if they get new vehicles and I get new crews in the crew slot....dang, that's confusing just trying to say that....where's that dude with the spreadsheets and damage tables and stuff...he can probably figure it out....LOL
Okay, naptime for me....and BTW....thanks to Matrix, TGN, Bill, Paul, and all them dudes whos is kickin butt with this. Much thanks and keep 'em coming guys!
