Troops won't fight

I've encountered a quite annoying problem when playing the game.

At one point in the game one of my provinces was attacked by a superior foe that outnumbered me with 3-1.

In order to solve that problem I sent 7 infantry divisions and two tank divisions to the province to aid in the defence.

And here's the problem... When the re-enforcements arrived, they didn't participate in the combat. The computer must've considered it to be an ordinary move, as the troops completely stopped in that province and only watched as their comrades-in-arms were torn apart by the enemy.

This problem has occured about three times for me, once when I played as Germany and twice when I played as the USSR. Both times I was playing the Road to War 1936 scenario. My version is 1.5.

I bet 10:1 this will be marked as KNOWN BUG;)

I've noticed that this doesn't happen all the time though. There were plenty of times when I've sent in support troops because the odds shifted, and they have joined in the combat.

And this happens all the time from the computer doing it to me as well.
