Unit Problem in CS 2.01 East Front-FB

[Big Ivan]

Hello Petri,

Take a look at the Soviet Union (Axis) Motorized Engineer Battalion 43 organization and company organization same in East Front with Forgotten Battles enabled.

The Mine Engineer platoon unit is Russian (Allies) not Soviet (Axis). I seem to recall we had this issue with Forgotten Battles under the 1.04 CS modification. Looks like it carried through to the 2.01 modification somehow.

Interesting though that under the platoon file it is Soviet (Axis) and not Russian (Allies) so I was able to do a swap out.

Can you confirm?
Cheers!

Cheers John, confirmed for the Axis Russia (Soviets) Company24.OOB file:

I think somehow the original OOB typo got back in. As these are not encrypted, the fix is indeed to replace the "P00" prefix with "P24".

Good catch!

This is the stock file unfortunately, in both EF and WF folders.

I will include the correct versions into next FB2.x version, as well as to MCS2.1 when it will become available.

Got it Petri,

It was a little weird being able to change the company OOB file. I've never done that before but it worked like a charm.

On a side note the random battle generator in EF-FB worked well with picking the Soviets as AXIS and US as ALLIES in a Corps battle. That's how I found the error when I looked at the Jump Map right at the start. At any rate the battle generation work well for those two nations.

Thanks!!
John
