I'm playing the tutorial scenario and I decided to try and build an airfield nearer the front line. If I then try to station an AA unit at this partially build airfield the game crashes to windows. Video shows it in action and is easily replicated.

I can't post video links yet but I have a video of the bug at youtu.be/BTJ77IHFkgc

Save file attached.

Thanks for the save, was able to repeat it. I don't think you're supposed to be able to assign units to an airfield that is not yet size 1. We'll try to get this fixed in the first update.

Is this really the case? I mean I can assign a eng to a town then build an AB and no crash. If I build an AB then assign eng it crashes

only construction units should be valid if the airbase is not built yet, that is my understanding

FYI I'm getting a CTD whenever I try to attach a construction unit to a new airfield. Will the airfield begin construction without a unit assigned?

Yes, I'm pretty sure the airfield construction can begin without a unit, but would be better with a unit. It's better to build an airfield at a town location as there you can always add a support unit. We are in the process of fixing some of the attachment bugs now. Once we have those fixed (so no crashes), we can look to see if we can make it possible for airfields built in non-town/city hexes to be able to attach CBs.

I've encountered this bug too. Attaching construction units to cities can also CTD. One instance I had previously successfully attached a unit and on a subsequent turn attaching another caused the CTD.

We think we have the attachment/crashes fixed. We're testing it internally and hope it will be out as a public beta next week.
