Mysterious Rhino Capacity Problem?

[andy_m_young at yahoo.com]

Hello,

I've stumbled across what looks to be a weird intermittant bug in the
Space Marines: Imperial Fist roster. It happens rarely; I've tried to
characterize it, but *can't* get it to happen on demand... anyways:

While building up Tactical Squads, and placing them in Rhinos AB will
incorrectly generate a validation error, stating that the squad is
too large to fit into the selected transport vehicle. I've seen this
reported with squads of 4 marines + sarge, and squads of 9 marines +
sarge. Initially, I noted the problems with the 10 man squads -- once
the problem occurs with a squad, decreasing the squad size has no
effect on the validation error.

The error seems to occur more often on large groups of Tactical
Squads -- for example, the first three 10 man squads added with
rhinos work fine, the fourth and subsequent suffer the bug. I have
noticed the bug happen on the first squad created, though less
frequently.

I tried to reproduce the defect in other Space Marine rosters, but
haven't been able to.


Hope this helps...

Andy

I had the same thing with the Ultramarine roster. Only happened once though.
