mensch Posted August 29, 2000 Share Posted August 29, 2000 right I have had this happen so far three times so I was able to duplicate it, wierd. I know this could go into the tech support area but Im not doing it cuz, its like I said happened only three times from a billion games I have played. Right here it goes… I do a QB or a pbem (1000pts) with a bud and I buy my troops and place them on the battle field, and its only happened when I am defending... So right, turn one I have all my guys sitting pretty in thier foxholes doing what they do best... hiding in ambush I scroll around the map and I see "Whats this an empty fox hole?"... so i remove the trees to get a better look.. yup seems empty where that rifle squad was.... I zoom in thinking its a graphics bug that the troops are gone at a high angle view.. nope.. darn empty whole and not a shot fired yet. hmm funny did I hand out a holiday pass to those guys or ”advance to GO and collect $200???... so I figure damn I lost a unit but where? on one occation the troops suddenly appeard again, where the hell did they go and why is the Space Ship Enterprize "beaming up my guys".... next time it happens Ill save the file and send it to BTS asking whats going on.

Rattus Posted August 29, 2000 Share Posted August 29, 2000 Curious - same thing happened once with V1.03 to one of my FOO's. I thought they had been run over by a nearby friendly tankk. THey just vanished - no body nothing on the unit menu when I used +/- keys.... Never seen it since though - maybe the Klingons are happy now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mensch Posted August 29, 2000 Author Share Posted August 29, 2000 the last time it happened I was on 1.04 have to see if 1.05 is Klingon proof or that damn captain Kirk lost power to his transporters.. heh.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonzoAttacker Posted August 29, 2000 Share Posted August 29, 2000 It has happened to me several times during QB. It is terrible when it is a key asset. You take the time to set up and "poof they are gone." I have lost tanks and infantry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil the Dill Posted August 29, 2000 Share Posted August 29, 2000 The same sort of happened to me: I had a Platoon headquarters which was bombarded so much it was destroyed, yet next turn it was whole and looking as if it had never seen and combat yet ------------------ "Your Mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Michael emrys Posted August 29, 2000 Share Posted August 29, 2000 I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the crop circles or cattle abductions in the game yet. Michael [This message has been edited by Michael emrys (edited 08-29-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
