Status: offline 		Hi all, After taking the day off just to play this wonderful game, I found a weird situation in my campaign. I'm playing USMC in the long campaign. I noticed that when a unit is destroyed in a previous battle, after it is repaired, the leader has no rank. Say scout car B1 gets toasted, crew and all, poof. Now prior to that it was Sgt. Joey commanding that unit. After the repair it's just Joey's replacement. No Sgt. No nothing. So, being the curious sort that I am, I opened up the file in Chlanda's editor (wondeful thing, that), looked up unit B1 and checked his rank. In the drop down box it would normally say 3-Sgt but now it says RankCB. What does that mean? Civilian Born? Cat Bait? Never saw that before. Will he get his rank after the next battle? Will he always be CB? Anyway, not a big deal since I can change it in the editor, just wondering if anyone else has seen this. Thanks Matrix, and happy battling! ------------------ Jackk "Smile today cuz tomorrow may really suck"

Status: offline 		Bill, It happens if the crew/unit is wiped out. Otherwise there's no reason to replace the leader Regarding Spellbinder's experience, I hadn't checked to see if it was only NCO or not. Will pay more attention when I get back to battling this weekend. Thank you for the replies. ------------------ Jackk "Smile today cuz tomorrow may really suck"

Status: offline 		Not exactly that, but i've had my company commander (B0) killed. The sergeant of the B1 unit was promoted to second lieutenant after the next battle and took over the B0 duty as company commander. Weird thing is that he was in charge of three first lieutenants leading the inf platoons of the company ;-)
