Brigade Weapons - 3/11/2008 2:42:59 AM

I have been searching through the forum and manual for answers to these three questions but to no avail. Can someone please help?

1. When I upgrade a brigade weapon, say to a Springfield, it immediatelly says "Purchasing: Springfield Rifle." How long does it take? It seems to me that some do not get purchased, for whatever reason, even though you requested it. Why is that? Do I request it again?

2. I have upgraded weapons in a number of brigades in various containers during the prior turns and confirmed they are purchased. But when I see the units is Detailed Combat, the weapons are not there. Why is that?

3. I upgraded a brigade's weapons to the new Spencer Rifle. During detailed combat it had the correct weapon but the brigade was routed and it ran all the way back to Vermont. Next turn, when I checked the brigade, I notice the Spencer Rifles are gone. I assume they through them away and I have to repurchase them, correct?

Your assistance is appreciated.

1. Thats new to me, once purchased the weapon should be with your unit for that turn's actions. You wouldn't happen to have pressed the backspace by mistake, as that is the undo button?

3 and probably explanation for 2 as well - Weapons can be lost by the losing side in battle and are picked up by victorious units if they are improvements on their current arms. This is detailed in the battle report - the tab for this and other information reports appears when you move the cursor near the top of the information box on the strategic map screen.
