I just noticed that in my current game, the US has a considerable excess of pilots. The US starts the game with eight air units. Somehow, I have all of those units on the map, and I have eight pilots in the reserve pool. I have no idea how I managed to accomplish this. As bugs go, this is easy to ignore -- I will simply never use those pilots -- but it is strange.
Going back to autosaved games, I discovered that whatever caused this, caused it in set up; those pilots were there during the Italian Setup, but not in the US set up. Redoing the set up does not produce the excess pilots.
If only I could figure out how to duplicate this feat in the real world, I would be able to have my cake and eat it, too. [;)]

I thought I knew how to play this game....
