Hi all.
Just noticed this when playing a generated battle Indonesia vs Australia, April 2004 (IIRC). The Australian units (AI) has a HQ consisted of 60 men with size 0 and the same cost as any other Aussie's HQ units, you can check that on the Encyclopaedia screen. Possibly bug??

PS: i've attached a save file, not THE game result (the game has dynamic ending) at slot 000 (might be better to rename that).

Ok,minor typo. But the icon seems to display a lot bunch of men there (sure more than 6 as normally should be). I'm afraid that chunky squad also has greater bang than normal HQ units.

As Imp says - a minor typo, 60 entered in the database instead of 6 (six) men.

It'll be fixed in the next release, but meanwhile you can edit Australian unit 244 to 6 men instead of 60 if you plan to fight them again beforehand.

All HQ cost the same, BTW.

Not as much problem with "too much bang", but rather "too much hitpoints" ;)

Am playing a generated battle Vs Australia again and just noticed that the "BANG!" is damn LETHAL too! The super-HQ could wipe out two of my Kopassus squads in just 2 shots, dang 1 shot 6 kills 8 hexes away (mine are hiding in trees too)!
(haven't changed the OOB yet)..
Seems like the AI's plain smart in (always) picking this sardined, reinforced-platoon size HQ..

Hahaha that seems so Imp, but I think they'v gone berserk from drinking too much :-D

The AI picks that HQ because from 1987 - 2020 that's the only one available to pick.
