Bonzai Bob Posted October 1, 2000 Share Posted October 1, 2000 I was playing the campaign "A day in the Cavalry" was on turn 3 and during my move all my units VANISHED. Now that is some AWESOME camo on those scouts. Hehehe. I tried the bases on and enlarged them to max. A big no go on that. Anyone have this happen before on the PC?

Guest Michael emrys Posted October 1, 2000 Share Posted October 1, 2000 They got sucked into a passing black hole. The Gerbil scientists were experimenting with them as an überweapon, but weren't able to control the parameters and it got away from them. Since then it has circled the earth in a low orbit collecting socks and small children whose pictures subsequently mysteriously appear on milk cartons. Got your entire force, eh? Bad luck, old boy.

David Aitken Posted October 1, 2000 Share Posted October 1, 2000 It's obviously the split-squad issue. All your squads must have been split, and then rejoined at exactly the same instant, whereupon a cataclysmic reaction resulted in them cancelling each other out, and vanishing completely.

109 Gustav Posted October 1, 2000 Share Posted October 1, 2000 In the beta demo, units would sometimes vanish if you moved them into rubble, but that was fixed before CM was released. Perhaps they followed Col. Eareckson's advice on assaulting the island of Attu in the Aleutians: In viewing Attu's rocky shores, While planning how to take it, this thought strikes me more and more, the Nips should first forsake it. Since Attu ain't worth a hoot, for raising crops or cattle, Let's load with booze and take a cruise, And just call off the battle. I'd look for your cavalry in the nearest cellar with a barrel of Calvados. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat.

Mr. T Posted October 1, 2000 Share Posted October 1, 2000 I think it's a bug. I had an entire squad vanish recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagdwyrm Posted October 1, 2000 Share Posted October 1, 2000 I just had a pillbox and a bunker vanish from a PBEM...thats a pretty crippling bug when your trying to defend from a large force.

Bruno Weiss Posted October 1, 2000 Share Posted October 1, 2000 Jagdwyrm, if that was our game, it was probably your units initial reaction to the advance of my obviously overwhelming and superior forces on the field. Either that, or one of them lit a cigerette and the resulting smoke, as the AI is programmed to detect, triggered the United Federation's (SFFE) Schmoke Force Field Enveloper, which, as is discussed in other threads limits LOS, shells, bullets, lazer beams, nuclear warheads, or any penetration whatsoever save for the Top Secret superweapon, Das Hampstern. ------------------ "Wer zuerst schiesst hat mehr von Leben" Moto-(3./JG11 "Graf") Bruno "Stachel" Weiss [This message has been edited by Bruno Weiss (edited 10-01-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted October 1, 2000 Share Posted October 1, 2000 Dunno if this will help, but I suspect that you have accidentally turned of "vehicles" using the SHIFT-V option. This turns off the graphics for all vehicles *and* fortifications (pillboxes and bunkers). We are unaware of any other reports of vanishing units other than the accidental use of this feature.

Bonzai Bob Posted October 2, 2000 Author Share Posted October 2, 2000 Thanks all I figured it out. It was a space time shift caused by my anti gerbil M8 scout cars. (restarted pc and all was fine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
