Sometimes I move my scouts, but speed doesn't change from 2mph. I have version 4.2 Anyone else seen this?

Have a closer look - and move the units hex per hex. You'll notice that it read "2","3","2" ..mph in succession when moving leg troops over grassland. Bad bug even in v4.3b. Dunno of this is only a display problem or if it really goes with this figures ?! Arralen

It could be a design feature although I kinda doubt it. If it was a feature, it might be a mechanism to make scouts that are moving harder to hit. If it is a bug, then we should put it on the "to fix" list.

Well, now we have to ask: Fixed in 4.5? And again I've seen one old bug, where aircraft can spot all of enemy's units on map. Maybe this occurs only in hotseat?? It can be used for nasty cheating. Sometimes my aircrafts see all of enemy units, and sometimes enemy aircraft that is flying at end of my turn spots all of his units.

I think its simply a display bug, the game routine trackes hexes moved, not the "speed" displayed...If some one figures out differently we'll take a closer look, but I am fairly sure this is just a quirk of the report generation

Yes, it looks like this is true. But, what is with bug when all units on map are shown that is produced sometimes when aircraft is on bomb misson. Now, when playing hotseat against my friend, we don't watch bombardment missions.
