Casualty bug: I see dead people!


Recommended Posts

I saw some strange numbers recently. They don't affect gameplay (as far as I can tell), but here goes:

A 12-man 44 pattern US rifle squad got absolutely *clobbered* by a high-caliber artillery shell. I don't know what the gun was, but it was big, and the shell landed right on top of my poor guys. The squad was immediately routed, understandably, but as they ran back towards the friendly map edge I noticed something weird. In the unit screen's casualty box (next to the red cross), the number was "30." In the active soldiers box (next to the helmet), the number was "-18."

Obviously, if you add 30 and -18 you get 12 (the size of the squad before the arty hit them). I take it that everyone was dead, and that I was watching their routed ghosts flee the field! Still, I think BTS should know about the goofy math bug that must be involved here.

They do!

Do a search on "weird Megasquad occurance." (or something, tech- support section, I believe)

I asked the same question recently. You'll find an answer there.
