Between Late Dec 1861 and Early Jan 1862
My garrison of Norfolk vanished.

It was called '6th New York Wilson's Zouves'

NOT a militia unit. and when I said vanished I mean it is GONE. No fights, no attrition no nothing.
The unit that was with it, was a medical unit that for some reason the computer decided to build there.

So then, what does this mean?

Yes easily. Supply was not a problem. The unit was at full strth 1001 and simply vanished.

I checked all my fleets to make sure it had not piggy-backed away.

I assume it is a faulty unit dissolution routine for the end of year maint.
Or at least I hope that is what it was.

The next turn there was Butler sitting in Richmond with the Reb units and no units with Butler.....they were just gone. It might have been that they were destroyed but there was no battle graphic on nte about the battle. I never did figure that out :-)

AGeod is very good about fixing bugs quickly if you provide the saved games.

No one. I commonly simply dump a solo brigade unit in a captured port because.....

If the AI attacks, I have not lost much. If the AI ignores it, it hasnt cost me much.

The ORIGINAL commander for the invasion was Hooker, but I detached the Zouves and sent Hooker south
to Moorhead City.

The weird part is that the computer insisted on building a Union Medical Facilty at the captured port.

What?

Send me the saved game, tell me where it happened and who disapeared. I need either the whole game, or the turn before and after this event. Thanks.

Status: offline 		Seems like it is an isolated error restricted to the way I make my moves.
I have encountered many video errors in my turn processing (Raedon 8500)
It is an old card and may need new drivers.

In any case, the unit is question is parsed as non-existant and deleted.
POCUS explained to me how to get the unit back and all is well.
