Weirdest bug yet

[SCAJolly]

I don't know, but I have a slight suspicion that I sent you the first and second turns, not the nilth. Is this needed?

Yes, we looked I looked at it when you sent it. We're juggling a lot ATM. It's on the to-do list

OK let's Review all of this

I opened up the turn you sent for Save slot 15. It's the "nilth" one that shows the very end of your first battle and brings you to the repair \ upgrade screen. When I started it the second time I got a "Special battle" notice as you mentioned in your initial report so I should be seeing what you were seeing

Did you see the "funny > mark on their names" at the end of the list on page 2?? If yes, I see them as well

I buy some support troops and now these two ">" orphans have attached themselves to my infantry Coy as Q0 and R0

I deploy the units and find Q0 and R0 and here is where we diverge a bit. When I click on either of those units the in the Roster I don't see the enemy force list and when I quit deploy and start the game they stay on my side of the map

So...... we have a problem with those two orphans attaching themselves like they do but I need a memory refresher... did you buy either of those M113a1 FOO or NM142's as support or core when you first set up the game?? Or did they just magically appear?

One more thing

When you bought yor core did you do a lot of buying then deleting then more buying and deleting to build you core?

When I buy snipers the > units don't change untill I get to "Q" then the m113 becomes the Q and the NM142 becomes the R. When I buy a tank squadron then check the M113a1 FO becomes the Q0 and the NM142 becomes the R0. The same thing happens no matter what I buy so I'm thinking here that these two units were once "Q" and "R" then their formations were deleted ??

[SCAJolly]

To the first question: Yes.

As for buying the M113 and NM142 as support, core or anything else, I can't say that with confidence. It's a good possibility I bought a formation and then deleted it.

I remember that in the enemy roster, I did not notice (BUT I did not look carefully) any platoons of T-80s, of which there were plenty in the following game. Only T-64s. However, I may have missed "tank coy" slots. In any way, it looked as if the enemy roster had been designed separately from the friendly roster, by that it did not contain the black background with green letters. Nor did it contain the ability to lend control of a platoon to the CPU (which should be obvious ).

I'm guessing that some formation routine for Special Missions need to be looked at.
