Possible convesion error regarding spare equipment

Problem being:
I opened up Europe 44v3.1 in the TOAW III editor. This did not ship with TOAW III. I noticed all the units' attack/defence numbers were 1, 2, or 3, max. This is not normal. I investigated a bit, finding that the reason was because in the very first Allied formation, there were several units, "Brest Supply", "Cherbourg Supply" ect., that were equiped with 5000 T-64As. I then opened the scenario in CoW to find that the intended equipment was Spare Equipment. My question would then be: Is evry scenario using 'Spare Equipment' going to have that eq switched over to T-64As, or did the designer just happen to pick the wrong Spare Equipment slot?

Thanks in advance.

[:D]After further investigation, I have answered my own question: Is every scenario using 'Spare Equipment' going to have that eq switched over to T-64As, or did the designer just happen to pick the wrong Spare Equipment slot? The designer just happened to pick the first slot, which was the slot turned into T-64As. After further investigation I found other units that had spare equipment and not T-64As. However, I guess players should be on the look-out when converting new scenarios that may contain spare qq, eh? [:)]
 
Also, I appoligise if this was already gone over and I missed it...

A further note to indicate that it is easy to tell if this conversion problem has ccured by looking at the replacements and seeing if there are any T-64As in the scenario (unless, of course, the scenario is intended to have these tanks).

Thanks for pointing this out, Wyatt. The T-64a's were added in 3.0.0.17, and it was our assumption that nobody was using that slot for anything else.
