I was hoping I might get some advice on a strange situation I've encountered in MCNA. After multiple battles, several of my units have taken casulties, although not too many of my crews have been entirely wiped out. Yet I have many units (primarily tank and AC) that have 'no leader'. They have a blank where the leader's name is, and many have leadership, rally, etc. that are 0. This has happened even to units that didn't take casulties-in between saves, the leader 'disappears' to be replaced with a blank. Naturally unit performance suffers, and at this point half my panzer force has 'blank' leaders. Is this purposeful or a bug? If purposeful, then completing this campaign is going to be near impossible, as many of these units cannot rally during battle witrh ratings of 0. Has this occurred to anyone else? Can I edit the leader names in any way? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this.

We are looking into this...

Paul, I've encountered something similar - after installing the MC version of SPWAW I then loaded a scenario I am working on. When I open this scenario up in WAWED it shows units that don't exist with no names for the commanders. I then load it back into SPWAW and look for these phantom units, but they don't exist. Very strange.

An update...the units seem to be gaining experience normally. I plowed ahead with my 'blank' units, and after completing the scenario, found that my 'blanks' had gained experience, usually from 0 to 22 points in each category. Even so, I had one of my blank units (0 leadership) hit a mine...crew survived, but could not rally the entire scenario...luckily they were far from UK guns.
