(Disclaimer: This is not an Old Spice commercial.)

The following is a phenomenon I have seen a few times in different scenarios. The screenshots are from GB06 Three Times is Not a Charm.

This first screen shot illustrates W Smith’s four-regiment brigade deploying into column formation.


This second screenshot illustrates the same brigade in column formation with the centre row containing two regiments.


This third screenshot is the brigade starting to form a battleline – the centre row is separating into two regiments.


I have been unable to determine any commonalities during the various times I have seen this phenomenon. For instance, no other units (friendly or foe) are nearby.

Hey J Canuck,

Have you been borrowing JC's Jameson again ??

Good catch, have only seen it a couple of times but could not replicate with a save, so, no official bug report. The screenshots clearly show the issue, but without a save, Norb can't narrow it down.

Strange, it's like the AI is calling up a brigade column formation with only 3 units in it, like there's a hidden extra Drills.csv file somewhere. Really odd...

Try to get a save, and then a bug report will happen.

Thanks to our most valuable northernmost ally...

ok .... got a save. But thanks to Chamberlain's catch .... .... hic .... :blink: ..... up ..... :S .... buurrrrrrrp .... :X .... I have to wait a while before I try to figure out the protocol .... :silly:

I e-mailed the saved file and received the protocol receipt confirmation.

Just send it to me: prkeen At drumsandbugles Dot com

Thanks Sir

This is caused by SOW's grid system in combination with the drills.

Workaround: Don't let your brigade face NW, NE, SW or SE in march column.

RebBuglar, I just e-mailed it to you.

ADukes, thanks for your response.

I don't see this glitch as anything more than just a curious visual phenomenon. I can't imagine it ever causing a game-play problem.

Thank you both for your interest.

On the other hand, you may wish to pursue the following. When I'm really in a tight spot getting my rump royally kicked, I do call upon Paul Bunyans cousins to lend a stomping foot.

:laugh:

Those Rebel giants have no respect for those poor dead blue bellies they are stepping on... :laugh:
