It's all a bit historical now, but I'm not sure why the 26% load bug is an issue here specifically? Because our game went forward quickly, and the Axis surrendered (IIRC?) to pull out the remainder of their forces, this battle was finished fully before the 26% bug became an issue, and didn't affect this game? It finished "normally" without the bug.
And, though it is difficult now to recall *exactly*, I only ever sent a smaller proportion of my guys across the river, most were left on "our" side ... and those that did go across never even got as far as reaching the wooded hill before the surrender.
So, if the position on the ground now is supposed to represent the actual positions reached rather than abstract VLs, a good proportion of my guys should still be in the woods on our side where we started and not in I11 / nor in contact with the current Axis forces ... if that makes any difference!
If it is important, I can try to remember / reconstruct who was where by the end ...
