Hi Rob/Colen
These's an odd behavior when using "Duplicate Unit" with my FOW files which has been brought to my attention, and it might be a bug. You can grab the data files I'm using from
http://www.datafilesrus.com/a3/FOW.ab.
Here's how you get the problem:
Create a new roster for a German Panzerkompanie, using the default rules. Add a Panzer Platoon to the roster.
Change the type of tanks in the platoon by choosing the "Panzer III G, H or J" option. The tanks change to the specified type. Deselect the option, and they change back to the default "Panzer 38(t)" type.
Now change it back to the "Panzer III G H or J" option, then right-click on the unit and choose "duplicate unit".
Now, deselect the "Panzer III G H or J" option on the new unit. On my machine, the
Can you see the inconsistent behavior? With the original, when you deselect the option, the default option kicks in. With the duplicate, the default option doesn't get selected. In fact, even though its nature is "Auto", it's left as user-selectable. If you select that first option, it reverts to being "Auto" and everything's fine from that point on.
The fact that it works perfectly for an original unit but not with the duplicate suggests there could be something going wrong when AB duplicates units, rather than with the data file itself, although this particular unit was a nightmare to program so anything's possible.
Thanks
