Whilst selecting Russian(and some German) core units in the WW2 long campaigns, some units cant be selected , you highlight but nothing happens when you left click. The Guards infantry selections give you the support squad but no infantry units, platoons are mixed up with sections and vice versa. German units can now upgrade to nebelwerfer and mobile werfers, is this intentional ?
Once the OOBs are sorted out this looks to be the best version so far however and the previous saved campaigns seem to work normally as well .

Has anyone experienced NON-RECON UNITS switching to RECON units out of the blue??
I start a second battle of a German WWII Long Campaign and had a SS Mech Co. One of the halftracks in the 1st platoon started in the DEPLOYMENT phase as a normal halftrack...When the battle started it was a RECON unit! And of course once you are a recon unit you will always be a recon unit...ie an armored car scout unit will eventually be free-roaming KING TIGERS!

The closest thing I've had to this is when I buy a recon unit for my core force. Later on if I udgrade it to something else, the new unit will have recon capabilities, even if it is not a recon unit.

That's a bug you can't do much against - the recon ability is "tied" to the formation, let's say "Plt" here. If you exchange the units, the formation is still a "recon formation", so every single unit in it inherit this ability. Nested formations (sqd, eg) will retain their own ability "marker".

Good that you mentioned this, I'll have to consider this when making the new formations for the final OOBs.

I have had individual squads/vehicles gain or lose recon status during the course of a scenario. I haven't seen this condition persist across campaign scenarios.
Also, for the OOBs, I have been unable as the Germans to purchase JPz formations at any time (the formations show up for the French battles, and the JPz I has the correct availability date and shows up on the unit change menu, but the formations are not selectable, just as if the vehicles were not yet available). It is now August '41 and still no selectable Jpz formations.

One battle? Did you save and exit from the game ?
Which version do you have?

Has been mentioned before .. there was/is a problem with the unit classes, this will be fixed .
