Wild Bill Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Has anyone ever had some soldiers M.I.A. I had a whole 3 squads M.I.A, and No they were not killed by sharpshooters or tanks. It seems as though the game might have its realism after all. Soldiers go missing in action all the time, and turn up alive. The only thing thats wrong is THEY DON'T SHOW UP. Any helpful info or tips would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzieboy Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 They could have been captured (but would show up in the map after the scenario is over), or have panicked/routed and ran out of the map's borders, in that case you would not see them any more.

Michael Emrys Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 WB, when do your soldiers go missing, at the start of the game or during play? If the former, it is almost certainly due to your casualty setting when you were establishing the parameters for the game. If the latter, they may have routed off the map.

Bruno Weiss Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Maybe you left the "show 3 man per squad" selection off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Leader Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 My guess is you probably had the "Lust" emotion pack turned on and were in, or near, a village. Happens all the time, andif you check all the houses and shacks, you might find them - but it won't be pretty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal DI FOLCO Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Perhaps they just fled, they didn't want to be played by you... :eek: Naa, stop, I'm a nice guy now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Bellator Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Originally posted by Wild Bill: It seems as though the game might have its realism after all.Of course it hasn't. Keep an eye out on the replays, as the men often spontaneously combust. It is a little joke by one of the programmers who was bored one afternoon.

Tripwire6 Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I'm sure given a few hours with a hex editor, you'll figure out the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiggles Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I've lost two squads whilst trying to creep them along the edge of the map. They weren't under fire or anything. Just got bored and wandered off for a coffee and Danish I guess. Whoops. Can't remember which scenario it was, but as I only started with three squads, that was my assault pretty much buggered (skewz my French). It's rather embarassing though. Imagine what the Russians thought, with me turning up with two-thirds of my players missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
