Postures incorrectly re-built

Postures are incorrectly re-estabilished once a unit has been destroyed.

Three sides are in this test scenario: Attacker (Danish Airlift side), Target (French Target), and Link side (Denmark). The postures are as follows:

1) Attacker side is hostile to Target side
2) Link side is friendly to both Attacker and Target sides. (This posture prevents Attacker from launching strike on Target.)

In Harpoon v3.6.3 and in ANW v3.7.0, once the Link side is destroyed, the Attacker side is freed to launch airstrike at Target.

However, this is not the case with the Beta 3.7.1 patch. Once the link side is destroyed, the GE acts as though the link is still functional even though there are no remaining units on the Link side. The postures are re-build incorrectly and dysfunctionally.

Steps to re-create:

1) Run [PDb] Postures incorrectly re-built (3.7.1).SCN in ANW SE 3.7.0 from the Belgian side
2) Activate show all.
3) After C-130s destroy Link target, air strike will launch on French Target at 02:15 of game time.

4) Re-run test scen in ANW SE 3.7.1
5) After C-130s destroy Link target, no air strikes appear. Further investigate will show that even though one side is hostile to another, attacks are not allowed.

Yes I saw this too in the scenario "Special Ops Play' that I was converting to 3.7. It now ONLY works with 3.7.0 not 3.7.1+
