Kingfish -> Talk about bizzare... (8/11/2002 4:44:42 AM)

I'm playing #7, and using the next to last patch (1.1?)
It is November, and I'm unloading the entire Australian 7th division, plus a few extra engineer and armored units, at Buna. Currently the base is occupied by a Japanese force of about 5,000+. My own force totals 20,000+.
Finally my force is completely unloaded and I order a deliberate attack on Buna. Now comes the weird part.
Suddenly, one of the Aussie brigades (25th?) gets teleported to Rabaul, and proceeds to launch it's own attack on the fortress. Problem is, there is over 14,000 heavily fortified troops there. Needless to say, the Aussies were repulsed with heavy losses.
But hold on, it ain't over. Just as soon as the Rabaul attack is concluded does the Aussie brigade teleport back, and then joins in with the rest of the 7th division in attacking Buna. I know this to be true because the combat report listed the strength of the 7th division during the Buna attack, and it jived with the strength report prior to the attack, minus the losses incurred by the 25th at Rabaul.
I also know for a fact that the attack on Rabaul took place. The base hex was highlighted, I saw the green infantry icon there, and I received a combat report describing the location, odds and outcome. Unfortunately, I do not have a saved game file.
Can anyone explain to me what just happened?
