Correct - do not use 'Save As' from the Debrief screen. The game is saved automatically every time you finish a battle, before you get to the Debrief screen. This auto-save has had all the post-battle clean up done on it. Not all this clean up is applied to the in memory state of the game (for example, dead soldiers are not removed) so that the actual state from the battle is reflected in what you see on the Debrief screen, not the 'cleaned up' state. So the game state saved in a file using 'Save As' from the Debrief screen is not exactly the same as that which is done via the normal 'auto save' mechanism. If you later try to load and play the version you saved from the Debrief screen (or if you overwrite the auto-saved file, which is re-loaded as soon as you go on to the Strategic screen) you could run into trouble down the road, since some parts of game data have not been 'cleaned up' as expected by the rest of the game. This situation has existed since CC4 days, though to my knowledge it was never identified as a definite problem until now. There are more significant pieces of data that can be different between the two game states in LSA, which makes it obvious now. This is something we will be addressing in an update as soon as possible.
