LOS frustation & other bugs playing germans - Storm in the East Tournament - Round 1

Hi canadian cat, thanks for your feedback, really appreciate it.

Yeah, that is the exact situation I had to deal with, to be honest I thought as well to cancel the movement orders for those squads in order to see if their behaviour was somehow reset, but I couldn't do so as my infantry got engagednin the middle of the bridge and I decided to stick to the movement order already given just to see if at least the rest of those teams could make it to the other side safely, I will try what you just siggested mext time that happen to me.

I have saved turns as we are using dropbox, it's just a matter of looking for the right turns, I'll do that and I'll send them to you as soon as possible.

Thanks

I tried to cross the bridge on the far right end of the map (German POV), and as soon as my infantry started crossing the bridge, some soldiers in a couple of squads started running the opposite way, without any apparent reason.
From that point on, those squads were done, as they were not attending the orders any further, as the "deserting" soldiers retained the "focus" of the whole squad, so all the orders were plotted over the deserters but not acknowledged by anyone. It's crazy, I know ...

Are you describing the situation where one solider form a unit runs off in a strange direction but everyone else stays put waiting for them to finish what ever insane thing they are doing?

If so, first that sucks, second here a few things you can do to get out of it. First and foremost cancel all of their movement orders. Now split the squad so you can at least get one or two team(s) out of this situation. Give them the orders you want. The team with the insane guy give no orders at all - none. Wait a turn. Then try giving them an order to go where they are right now. In effect you are asking the insane guy to come back. This sometimes works. If it does not work you need to kill him. Yeah nuts I know but if you get something that can throw HE and area fire near him and you take him out the rest of your team will start behaving again.

Now the more important thing do you have saved turns? Send me a PM and we can connect so you can share saved turns (and your password - I won't tell) privately. Ideally a save before the insane move and then the one right after where he goes rouge with an explanation of the orders in question. If you have that I can package it up and get it in front of the BFC devs.
