N. Africa Bug?

Does the bug still exist? I have just had N. Africa collapse during August '41 for the second straight game playing the Germans against the Soviet AI.....very frustrating..

You probablly need to pay some attention to the Fronts now, since the the shatter events aren't hardwired, but occur based on actual strengths in the Fronts.

Give the Italian front a higher replacement level, and perhaps an extra full strength infantry division or three to boost the Front's strength untill the higher replacement level adds enough to the normal units there so they are far enough ahead of Allied strength to make a shatter event extremely unlikely.

To a certain extent, we just have to get used to this possibility, it makes the game more interesting if these shatter events are not hardwired to happen when they historically did. When people realized the Italian Front would *never* shatter in '41 in the old system, you saw the inevitable cheating by people taking out and using all the Italian Front units in the game (on the map).
