DSandberg -> Troop transport planes that won't ... (7/6/2002 12:52:32 PM)

The following has happened twice to me now in exactly the same way. I don't have a save game that shows it, unfortunately, as I got so frustrated the second time it happened that I uninstalled UV. :( I hope another patch will address this along with the ultra-effective B17 naval attacks and other issues, so that I can install the game again.
In scenario #1 (Coral Sea), I moved all Dakota transport planes to Brisbane and used them to ferry the replacement base force to Townsville. This went fine ... after two turns everything except for two radar sets had been transported (I assume the radars are too big for air transport). So on the next turn I transferred all four Dakota airgroups to Townsville and ordered them to carry the base force to Port Moresby. I did this by calling up one of them, selecting "troop transport", the base force in question, selecting PM as the destination, and then clicked on "assign all Dakotas in this hex". Looking through them afterwards confirms that all four groups of Dakotas had these orders.
Problem is, after clicking on "End Turn", all four groups of Dakotas ferried supply to PM, no troops. Sure enough, when I checked the orders of the four Dakota groups the next turn, they were all reset to "supply transport" ... and meanwhile the base force was still sitting on its thumbs in Townsville.
As said earlier, this has happened twice to me, in precisely the same scenerio and after the same orders and events.
