Leader/Follower mechanism and -accum

I'm trying to get the leader/follower stuff to work with accumulated
stats and it's driving me crazy. I'm obviously doing something
really dumb but I just can't see it.

I have the following units:
"General"
external attributes: lead:any-Sldr,Elte-accum@SCnt=SCnt,ECnt=ECnt

"Soldier"
comp group: Sldr
external attributes: foll:xx-must
option links: sldrcnt:auto

Option sldrcnt has two attributes: hide, stat:SCnt=(#)

I can add the two units to a roster and set the Soldier unit Leader
to be the General unit. I can see the hidden stat SCnt on the
Soldier unit and it is equal to the model count for the unit. If I
look at the same stat on the General unit, it's set to 0

I tried getting rid of the sldrcnt option and setting the SCnt stat
to a number on the Soldier unit directly but it still didn't
accumulate up to the leader.

What am I doing wrong? Is there an order of processing that I don't
understand? I have checked that auto validation is turned on (I
understand that accumulation happens as part of validation...)
Which leads me to ask: If I have an lcmp attribute on General
comparing SCnt to one if it's other stats, is it going to compare
the accumulated value, or does the lcmp happen before the accum?

Cheers,
Russell

Strange. I just created a 2-unit test of this, and I got the expected
behaviour. Could you upload your files somewhere (or email me them off-list
- colen at wolflair dot com) for me to have a look at?

It *appears* that the lcmp happens before the accum. Thus, any accumulated
stat isn't counted.
