These should be exactly the same as the stock oobs with just the flags changed.

Nope, since it is one of the pre-release OOB files you have changed.

Have battle selection as Hunt them Down, Objectives for these two efforts. No Corps showing on map.

OK, did that, and still no problems...friendly corps is there.

Just saw that. However, still works for me with the pre release file. Was there a structure change ADukes? And, I will get that updated for the next release. Thanks for the remind.

Tried it once again using Jackson DRF selecting one battery on Hunt Them Down, No Objectives, and it worked as it should.

Have absolutely no idea why there would be a difference as I have made no changes other then the new MAP-COURIER download.

Glad it is working; sorry if I have caused an uproar!

Whoops...spoke too soon.

Here is what I did:
1. Loaded Game
2. Selected Single Player
3. Selected Sandbox - Hunt Them Down, No Objectives; Corps vs Corps
4. Selected Pickett-Pettigrew-Trimble
5. Selected OOB Gettysburg Day 2 DRF
6. Selected Hurt's Battery
7. Touched Spacebar
8. Map shows Hurt's Battery plus Major R. J. Pegram and 3 other batteries.
9. No friendly infantry shown nor does any appear after 7 minutes into the game.

Did it, and it gave me an artillery corps...friendlies plus my battery, Hurt. You don't always get an infantry corps...that's random. So, no bug that I see.

Interesting....the only "friendlies" present were Major R. J. Pegram and three other batteries of arty.

Doesn't make much sense, but if that is the way it is constructed, will have to live with it.

Thanks, Bugler.

Yeah, I got Pegram and McIntosh, two artillery battalions, which the code sees as the equivalent to a Corps. Since, this is random, an artillery, infantry mix, a true corps, should be produced in another try or two. I believe a choice of opposing forces is in the kiln for a future patch, so hang in there with the unpredictable randoms, more options coming. Toasting bugs is in the main oven now. :S

Thanks, Bugler. Will keep watching.
