VANISHING GENERALS PROBLEM

I'm getting the vanishing generals problem in a recent game against the AI as the Confederates. The Generals screen will report a general, in this case McDowell, at Washington but he is nowhere to be found.

I am playing the latest version of the game and I had noticed the problem before when I had taken the confederates in a player vs player game.

Was this game started with the 1.030 that was in the Member's club and was a public beta, or was it started with the "official 1.030 version" that was released a few weeks later. I apologize for the confusion of there being two 1.030 versions that got out. We should have renumbered the final official version to make it clear that there was a change between the public beta and the official release. The public beta had a bug that a leader hit in combat might be killed but would be listed as if he was on the map. We think this is fixed in games started with the official patch version.

There's always a chance this is a different bug, but the first thing I'd like to know is which version you were using in the game with a problem (where and when did you get it)? Any chance McDowell was hit in combat?
