Would any of these fixes require a restart to take effect?

Maybe there were on the coast on their previous turn, got beachhead supply, then moved inland retaining it for the duration of enemy turn?

3V+5L should not grant Gds status. Are you sure it wasn't a unit that started the game marked as guards?

Is the armor unit attached to the HQ which is in BH supply?

loki100, aside from the problem described above there are also things to consider for ongoing games switching from 1.07 to 1.08:
a) previously some losses were not visible in the statictics, they appear now, causing an artificial increase (if you have written down one set of data using 1.07 and one using 1.08 - as I did, due to external tracking in Excel).
b) some ground element classes belong to different category now: SPA counts as artillery and is included in those numbers, previously they counted as AFV; in the new generic data Assault Guns are AFV not SPA, but when you retain old data, the change is significant, and there are other side effects (unfortunately this can't be avoided).
c) units having squads with less than 10 men will be weaker, units with squads of over 10 men will be stronger in CV terms, hence 1941 Rumanians with 17-men squads get an increase in CV, mid-war Soviet squads see a decrease in CV, as do the late-war German squads. As rifle squad is major contributor to an infantry unit CV, the change is significant and visible on the counter (a 1-2 CV difference on-counter).

Perhaps there are also some other changes that affect your game, but most likely it's c) and refit blocking/max 60% CV. No longer the Soviet player can play having all his front-line units on refit (as I did). But as I said above I'm willing to reduce the problem and micromanagement by disabling the 60/70 rule.

Yes indeed. Didn't know that beachhead supply works like this.

Must say that this discussion is deep and useful. Thanks all.

My 2 cents, have seen two minor surprises:

1. starting "multiplayer" feature gets message "earlier version available 1.07.15" and seems to wait. Punch the tab again and off it goes. Am using 1.08 and that's what plays.

2. selecting manual aircraft upgrade, info panel misstates range. If selected, but range is correct when aircraft is accepted.

And a biggie that I'm not sure about, have had to restart several times vs. AI due to freezing. Goes away after restart.

AFAIR this also worked in 1.07 if the unit is able to trace a route to its HQ within a MP limit.

I just checked, its unit 2837 (was 8th Tank Divison). Is it possible that victorys as Tank divison are counting, but it only shows victorys as Tank Brigade in the CR?

Its "radius" as shown in small panel when making a manual change to units in the field. I'll have to look at the comparisons available through the commander's report for that issue. Maybe its the divide by 10 rule, after all.

I can't say that I like or agree with anything that reinforces the replacement shuffle. It's never been clear to me why at the scale this game is played, reinforcement to full 100% can't take place in any given hex, even if adjacent to the enemy. It's just micromanagement hell. This isn't a tactical level game. The effect desired is or ought to be fully modeled by attrition losses, and nothing further is needed.

As others note, this mechanic oddly favors the offense in an IGOUGO game system. Which strikes me as deeply perverse.

Think I saw a note asking that all observations be posted here.

Selecting AI for Air Recon does not execute all the air recon missions. A few execute at a time. So I have to click AI repeatedly. In previous version I clicked once and dozens of Air recce missions were flown. What gives?
