Jarmo Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 I searched, but found nothing. I just won a game, good for me. Almost until the end I was losing, and the enemy (AI) even captured a squad of mine. In the end I won and the AI surrendered. In AAR my surrendered troops were still counted in for him. (Is the AI he or she? ) Why did this happen? The troops were still on map, and the enemy around them had surrendered.

Guest Scott Clinton Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 Sounds like a bug to me... But then again it has been noted that the AI does not exit its POWs as it should (IMO). So maybe its a fair trade-off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarmo Posted July 17, 2000 Author Share Posted July 17, 2000 If it only happens with AI's prisoners, I could understand it. Does it? dunno. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeadams Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 This is similar to my post earlier today in which one of my captured men stayed captured after I had entered the building where he was located. It seems to me he should rejoin my side at that point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scott Clinton Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 FWIW the releasing of POWs does work at least sometimes. It worked fine for me Saturday night. The only thing I think could have caused the problem with the men staying captured while in the same house with freindly troops would be if enemy troops were also very close by. Perhaps this is valid, perhaps it needs a tweak. I don't know because I have not encountered it personally. ------------------ Please note: The above is solely the opinion of 'The Grumbling Grognard' and reflects no one else's views but his own.

Darwin Posted July 17, 2000 Share Posted July 17, 2000 I had 2 conscript squad with an HQ hidden in a building. When the enemy got near the squad that had LOS to them surrendered even though he was right next to a friendly squad and HQ unit and although fighting has been severe in the area this cluster of buildings hadn't been involved, I dont even think the amis had spotted them out yet. Although disapointing I couldn't help but laugh, what was I to do with these guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Los Posted July 18, 2000 Share Posted July 18, 2000 The only thing I can think of (I recall having this happen to me before) is that you need to physically move some of your guys over to the prisoners to liberate them. (Maybe you did this?) It seems rational that even though one side collapses, if they have prisoners they're may hold onto them until someone takes them off their hands.

MichaelU Posted July 18, 2000 Share Posted July 18, 2000 The idea of conscripts surrendering before the Allies had even seen them doesn't seem that far fetched. There must have been many times in the latter part of war where the first sighting the Allies had of German troops was a white flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
