Still getting problems with the Great Purges

After further testing I am still getting the same problem of repeating generals in the Great Purges for SU.

What is always happening for me is that the first of the 5 generals listed for execution seems to be randon (well it varies each time) and the others are always the same four guys.

In each case I always select the 'kill the traitors option' and here are the lists of the officers I am supposed to lose the services of from the last two games:

1st Purge event:
Rakhimov, A. Marinesco, Drozd, Kopets, Izotov

2nd Purge event:
Efrimov, A. Marinesco, Drozd, Kopets, Izotov

3rd Purge event:
Archipov, A. Marinesco, Drozd, Kopets, Izotov

4th Purge event:
Kirichenko, A. Marinesco, Drozd, Kopets, Izotov


1st Purge event:
G.A. Alexandrov, A. Marinesco, Drozd, Kopets, Izotov

2nd Purge event:
N.P. Ivanov, A. Marinesco, Drozd, Kopets, Izotov

3rd Purge event:
Mironov, A. Marinesco, Drozd, Kopets, Izotov

4th Purge event:
Sherstnev, A. Marinesco, Drozd, Kopets, Izotov

In both of these games A.Marinesco was already supposed to be executed in a 'Traitorous General' event before the first purge.

I checked the list of available generals after each purge in the last game and the four repeaters were not in the list.

Has anyone else had the same experience?

I'm more concerned with the fact that dioing the urge events give the USSR a -10 and not doing it appears not to have any effect.

A better way is:

A) do it then -5 disent;
b) Don't +5 disent.

hmmmm

I looked into the event files for USSR:

#########################################################################
# The Great Officer Purge Begins
#########################################################################
event = {
id = 2609
random = no
country = SOV

name = "EVT_2609_NAME"
desc = "EVT_2609_DESC"
style = 0

date = { day = 1 month = march year = 1937 }

action_a = {
name = "ACTIONNAME2609A" # Purge the traitors!
command = { type = sleepleader which = -1 }
command = { type = sleepleader which = -2 }
command = { type = sleepleader which = -2 }
command = { type = sleepleader which = -2 }
command = { type = sleepleader which = -2 }
command = { type = dissent value = -10 }
}
action_b = {
name = "ACTIONNAME2609B" # No need for brutality
command = { type = dissent value = 10 }
}
}


I think the problem is that the sleepleader setting should be -1 for all of them, I think -1 means a random selection. I have absolutely no idea what -2 is supposed to do.

Comments from anyone that understands the scripting?
