Human control LCU with will's of their own

[SeaJunk]

Im playing scen 14 in Jan 43 with version 1.4 and im having trouble controlling certain ground units.

Im specifically trying to move all south west pacific units from Brisbane to Townsville by road/rail. I set thier objective and destination hex to Townsville. All the selected units start moving toward townsville in one turn. On the next turn however some units continue on to townsville while others turn back to brisbane with the objectives now set to parts of PNG.

All units and the zone are under human control.
Its as if the units that are turning back are pre-progammed to head to PNG and they want to find the shortest way there via brisbane.
How can I get manual control of these guys?

I also have a save with the units one hex out of brisbane heading to townsville. If you run the turn, they'll head back to brisbane.

This also happened on 1.3 with units in PNG when ordered to march from Moresby to Buna. Sent a save to Pry on that one about 5 months ago.

Thanks

I had similiar problem but I had S zone under computer control. I know it should not make any difference (since said units are in the SE zone and that was under my control) but when I took back control of S zone, the units went back to obeying my orders.[&:]
