Assault Pathing

The upload provides two saves, one from 06:03 before the order is made, the other when I spotted the pathing problem. Bn II.990 has attacked, two of the companies have reached the objective, but 7.990 retreated, then decided to reform and move to the objective in column formation with an enemy unit 100m in front of it. FWIW this has happened fairly often.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Another one. Losheim Gap; I order a Bn to attack, they do so but instead of securing the objective, two companies begin moving back to the reorg point. Before I post saved games, what exactly is needed to bug fix? Unfortunately there is no sticky topic to clarify what is essential.

Another instance, where an attack order turned into a move order back to the reorg point rather than a reorg on the objective. Someone respond so I know I'm not talking to myself and I'll post up all the saves.
One more thing. Units that seize an objective after an attack order, will proceed to reorg in column formation when there are both a. enemies in LOS that can be fired upon and b. enemies that can fire upon the friendies that are reorganising. Is this intentional? I would assume that this is not realistic behaviour, since the friendlies would maintain position and formation until all threats had been removed, or some other such action which doesn't expose them to danger.

Mahatma, I'm looking at your first save and it's not easy to re-create what happened with you, but I am noticing other anomalies worth some discussion behind the scenes. Your efforts are helpful and do not go unnoticed.[:'(]
