Sync or Glitch

Pbem V1.806 with 2day turns as Japanese, took over a abandoned game !!!, some months ago in game terms.

Landed in force at Kragen, used deliberate attack and captured base, so gave my troops march destinations for next turn.

Next turn arrives guess what, we have a enemy unit in Kragen, no movement, so ordered a massive shock attack with pursue orders.
Funny thing is that in every single dialog box from start menu on we don't have any " e " in in any text whatsoever.

This turn my shock attack goes in and only a tank unit decides to pursue into the next hex.
All the other units are now marching from Kragen.
Oh and the text is OK this time round.

Is this normal that all the units won't follow on ?.

"Pursue" doesn't guarantee that your units march into the next hex within a turn, it only gives them a head start:
The Manual

You can toggle on/off the option Pursue Enemy and Do Not Pursue Enemy. If toggled on and
during an attack, and the unit forces a retreat of all enemy ground units, the attacking unit will
march toward the hex the enemy retreated to and should automatically move 15 miles toward that
objective unless it is an armored unit in which case it moves 30 miles
.
Regarding the missing "e"s, that sounds really weird. Did you make a screenshot?

Thanks for the detailed explanation, did consider doing a sceenshot but passed this time, if it reoccurs I'II post it here.
Have printed and read most of the manual but have got so engrossed with this game I completely forgot about it.
