I recently noticed a minor inconsistency in the case blue scenario in both 3.0 and 3.1 versions.
There appears to be two 103rd Panzer battalions, one attached to O.K.H and the other to 3rd Motorized Division in the 24th Panzer Korps. A quick peek into the save file reveals that these units are indeed two separate units and occupy slots 168 and 197 in the save file.
I suppose this could be intentional, but to me it looks like a bug.
I probably wouldn't even have noticed this if I hadnät been working on a "little" (not so little anymore... <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> save file viewer with a friend of mine, and come across some very strange behaviour when testing its unit hierarchy tree view using a save from the case blue scenario.
Oh well, its nice to see that not all the problems with that particular application are because of our inability to write decent java code. <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

RickyB is the guy who handles the scenarios, but in case he doesn't spot this message, I have put your report on the bug list.

According to the Feldgrau webpage, PzAbt 103 was formed in the 3rd Mototrised Division in April 1942, was destroyed with its parent division in the Stalingrad pocket, and later reformed with that same division. There is nothing mentioned of an independent tank battallion with that number there.
