CM:BN Halftrack, damaged split squads... bug?

[Nelson1812]

Have loaded allied split squads (who have taken casualties) onto halftracks.

The door stays open, and the halftrack accept movement orders... but freezes. These forces are rattled.
Anybody else had this problem?

PS ... I rattled too.

The open door and failure to execute move orders usually indicates that not everyone is on board - the HT will wait until everyone is on board. Is it possible that you have the dredged wondering solider problem where on member of a squad goes off on some crazy trip? I have had that happen and ended up with the rest of the squad and the truck stuck unable to do anything.

Count the number of guys in the HT and the number that are supposed to be there (make sure you account for the gunner being from the HT crew or the passengers depending on the crew count. If you are missing a guy he is probably in the bushes running away as fast as he can.

Thanks... will check that out. What is really annoying... is that two halftracks froze, but I was rescuing green troops.
Will report back later.

After counting ... seem to have the right number, but they are all rattled (not drunk). Is it a bug?

Yes, for sure. I this a PBEM or a saved solo game? Can you share passwords and a file or two? If you sue drop box you can PM me a link (place the file anywhere in your drop box if it is not already there, right click on it and select "Copy Dropbox link" and paste the link into the PM).

Sorry that took so long to look at. Definitely a bug - no surprise there I logged it.

In the meant time that is little help for your current situation. I see you tried cancelling the passenger's orders - no help. That was going to be my first suggestion. If you cancel all orders for the HT and the passengers can you issue them a Bail Out or Dismount command? If you can try that - empty the HT and see if that helps.

I predict that you will not have those commands available. To me it sounds like the "team never finishes loading" bug except in this case you do not have a wondering team member causing the problem instead something failed to trigger the code that indicated that everyone is on board.

@A Canadian Cat Thought I had overlooked something, i.e. morale. Glad that sorted. Thanks.
