It's well known that some soviet units went into fighting right out of the trains during Barbarossa / Typhoon. But Elmer seems to have made quite a habit out of this. I am playing D21 (the version from 3.4 Beta) and he repeatedly has railed units directly into hexes adjacent to a german unit. Sometimes there is a soviet unit in a such a rail hex which could provide some cover, but sometimes Elmer doesn't even seem to care about this.

I can provide a .sal if required.
I'll put it down to look at in 3.5. Right now, he goes to the last friendly owned objective, I think.
The simplest method is probably to detrain xx number of hexes away from the enemy or the previous logic to congregate at an objective.

What's a reasonable number for xx? 3 hexes? 1/2 available MPs? Something else?

Thanks,
Ralph
