After upgrading the 7th Australian Division in my PBEM i encountered a very very nasty upgrade bug. All 25 pounders, Bren AAMG, Engineers, Engineer Vehicles, Support and Motorized suppored where completly moved back to the pools. That means that the unit now is lacking over 500 support squads which means that if i split it and turn replacements on it takes more than 100 days to drain the support back in which hurts quite a lot.

I do not have any hope that this is fixable but at least how can avoid such a desaster in the future ?

I did not apply the latest beta patch and as far as i know my opponent did not either (but i have to check)

beppi,

The Australian 6, 7 & 9th returned from the Middle East with a "British Standard" TOE.

Based on experience gained in New Guinea they changed to a "Jungle" TOE which took much of the heavier weapons such as the 3 Rgts of 25pdrs and replaced them with a Rgt with the "Short 25 pdr".

However, the devices with only 1 available in your post seem odd, what appears if you hit the "Show unit TOE" button?

Yes i knew that there was a TOE upgrade pending, that was the reason why i turned replacements on and put the division into the rest mode. The new TOE is exact how it is supposed to be but the bug is that all support, 25 pounders, engis and especialy support got drawn into the pool.

And yes the pool numbers increased correctly so the devices where not lost just they went back to the pool.
And there is no beta patch applied.

If you have the save in which it upgrade, you can attach it here and I can see if there is any issue there.

Generally, when a TOE upgrades, all the devices in the LCU are returned to the pool.

And then replacements are taken to fill out the new TOE.

I also notice that the list on the first posting has '42 values rather than the '43 TOE.

Mhhh are you shure that always all the devices get moved back to the pool ?
For example i mind to remember a division which did an upgrade (an Indian one, and after the upgrade it still had more British Sqads than the TOE would say).

And in addition thats how i usualy do TOE upgrades as i do not have enough AIF 43 Squads. Keep the division together turn replacements on, put it into rest mode,let the TOE upgrade. After that split it into 3 parts and turn of replacements for every part just for one turn to get the squads upgrade. After the uprade for a part turn replacements off again to not drain the AIF 43 suqads to much as squad size increased.

I attached the end of turn save of the turn when the upgrade happened, or do you need an other one ?
