A/I always gets reinforcements with 100% probability

I first noticed this thread under JTCS forum:
tm.asp?m=4240406
Then tried this out with both East Front and CSME scenario editors and made a scenario with some units set to arrive as reinforcements at turn 1 with probability of 10%.
When playing manual vs manual it works as supposed but when played computer vs computer the reinforcements always arrive at set turn, even if probability is only 10%.
Any hope for a fix for both CSME and JTCS games?

Probability for the release of fixed units seems to work for the A/I, but reinforcements are definetely broken unless I'm misunderstanding something in the editor.

Are you suggesting this only happens for hands-off AI vs. AI games? Or does it also appear to happen for human vs. AI games?

No hope whatsoever for the older JTCS. New development and code patching has stopped for JTCS entirely.

It happens with both AI vs AI and Human vs AI.
Actually, if you start with human vs human and don't get the reinforcements but then switch Side A to AI, it immediately gets them during that same turn 1.
I attached a simple scenario here based on Bootcamp one, where two of the SIDE A SAS units should arrive turn 1 with 30% probability. They always arrive immediately turn 1 for the AI

I also tried out one of the stock scenarios "Bnot Yaackov Bridge" that has T-55's coming for Side B with 30% probability Turn 3. Played manual vs manual to turn 3 and didn't get the unit, but after changing Side B to A/I, it got the reinforcements immediately during the same turn.
So definitely a bug here that needs fixing.

Thank you zoikkis for reporting on this. Let us see if we can find the bugger before the 2.01 is due to come out (ETA not known yet)
