Hope someone can shed some light on this. I installed version 1.03 yesterday and began playing the 1755 Campaign as a new game as the British. This would be the third time playing the same scenario - once when I first received the game, and once under version 1.02.
This time round I noticed something I had never seen before during the end of year "Unit Disbanding" time.
In the past version, I only ever saw Militia Units disband.
Now, on two separate years I have seen Provincial Units Disband.
First was the 51st Regiment which was composed of 3 Provincial Companies and a single Militia Company they had received as reinforcements.
Next was the Royal Volunteers of Ireland (I think I got the name correct, doing it from memory) which appear as reinforcements in New York around year 3.
This was quite strange as they appear late in the year, November I think, and then disbanded just two months later. (Guess they left their wool socks at home and got cold...)
And yes, each disband was followed with a new turn message stating that the unit had disbanded.
So, my questions are:
- Have Provincial Units always been subject to Disband rules and I never had it happen before?
- Or is Provincial Unit Disband something new with Patch 1.03?
- Is Provincial Disband correct or a... err temporary feature
Thanks ahead for any feedback or comments.
