As the Allies I attacked an Axis held hex and took it. The battle report said that 5 Axis units died, including an HQ unit. I advanced into the hex.

However, when hovering over that hex and pressing "F", the Axis HQ shows as part of MY stack. I right-click on it and it says 0% strength, 0% readiness. The HQ counter does NOT show up on the map.

The bad part is that my stack cannot move. I'm frozen in place. I spoke to my opponent (this was a server game) and he saw weird stuff after that battle as well. The units under that particular HQ still seemed to draw supply...from the hex that I was in. My opponent did not see any HQ counter on the board.

We ran a turn without doing anything and the problem disappeared after a turn. It seems that a dead HQ was not "cleaned up" properly after the combat. Major bug, unless this is bizarrely intended.

I saw that happen twice in the AI tutorial scenario.

I didn't know what was going on, so the next turn I ordered my troops in the hex with the ghost Italian HQ to move out and I ordered troops in an adjacent hex to attack the ghost Italian HQ. There was a battle result that showed my troops attacking my own troops that was ordered to move. IIRC there was no damage to any of my troops and the ghost Italian HQ disappeared. I don't remember, but I don't think the ghost HQ showed in the battle result.

The 2nd time I saw it happened I ignored it and I believe it disappeared the next turn.
