Gee, um, thanks Germany...

Hello. I just downloaded and installed 1.06c recently and I'm on my second SP game with it asItaly. During the second game, sometime around 1942 Germany just flat out gave me several units and their generals. That is, the units are fully upgradeable and I can assign another leader to the units and there was no return to owner button. Furthermore, (in this case) Schobert and Rudel are leaders that I may assign to other units.

Has anyone else seen this? Is there a cause or would this be considered a bug?

Happens all the time. They are your allies right? The AI always pawns units off to the human player.

Wow. I have played the hell out of this game and this the first time it's happened to me. There's a first time for everything. Thanks.

I've never seen it either. Only the other way around, where the AI sometimes steals my troops

Did you get them outright? Because I think Cdat means that the AI likes to give you Expeditionary Forces (a lot).
If you got them, was it after a specific event, were they placed into your strategic redeployment pool, some more info would help.

When I was first playing as Italy, Germany just gave me over 30 divisions and they went straight to my army pool.

Yes, Germany gave them to me outright. Germany did give me a bunch of expeditionary forces which I didn't need so I returned them but these were different.

To answer your question Koop, there was no specific event for me or Germany and I saw nothing in the logs that was notable either. I found them on the map because they bore the Italian flag which is much different than finding the expeditionary forces. They were, for all intents and purposes, permanently mine. I could even send them as expeditionary forces back to Germany.

At one point, in fiddling with these new units, I upgraded my dive bombers and gave them to Fougier. I also then assigned Rudel to a fighter squadron. I moved them into Germany territory and nothing. These units and men behaved exactly if I had built them myself.

:wacko: , looks like something for the bug forum.

In that case, I will hunt down more specifics like whether or not these units were explicitly given as expeditionary forces or not. Thanks. I expected someone else to have experienced this and have an answer as to what happens in game that this would occur.

I've noticed that when you are given exp forces then you save and reload those forces are now considered to be yours...no return to owner button and the units are upgradable just as you stated. Anyone else notice this???
