Missouri State Guard in 1862

Is it intentional that the MSG's Force Pool grows by roughly 40 regiments in early 1862? While I've happily been building Militia in in 1861 even I can't find a use for those additional 40 (I might build 10-20 more in the long run).

We'll check that, but the Missouri force pool is only adjusted in late spring 61 when the Saint Louis massacre event takes place (and also, for CSA only, with the Border States event)...nothing should happen in 1862 at all ?

Can you check the exact dates and conditions please ? :indien: :tournepas

It was early march 1862, a turn previous Price had defeated Halleck at Jefferson City. I expect the presence in the state of both Price and Hindman (both with the patriot attribute) would not have an effect (particularly as both wintered there). Now late March I still have 38 additional buildable Militia for Missouri (built 1 the previous turn, ordered another built just now).

I believe there may be a serious bug here, because if you check carefully the NATO symbole of the Missouri militia, you spot the DE letter...Delaware is a bit far away from Saint Louis, isn't it ?

OK, the matter will be investigated seriously from thursday (tomorrow we are closed - its V-Day WW2 celebration, all is off here)

No, no, you are looking at it the wrong way. it's indeed MO, remember the text is flipped 90° counterclockwise.

Which reminds me a problem I almost forgot to report which could be related. I was increasing Mo's industrial capacity in 1861 when I lost control of the State (not sure what triggers this, possibly loss of Springfiled for Mo). Now I can no longer raise/lower industrialisation but I keep getting additional production in the State's cities I control. Or at least i did a few turns ago (I thought to post two additional screenshots, but couldn't find an increased industry report this turn).

Well stupid me. I just recaptured Springfield Mo last turn, it's definitely the town that triggers control of Missouri's industry as I can once again raise/drop the industrialisation effort (and indeed, it was still set at "faible industrialisation", almost a year since I'd lost Springfield).

I just noticed this Force Pool increase also occurs in the 1862 Campaign. Starting the Campaign I had a moderate amount of buildable Militia, next turn it was at 43. I think the Missouri "Regulars" Force Pool might also have increased as I could build 10 and 12 Brigades, 7 Cavalry Regiments, 4 and 8 Artillery Batteries and 12 Supply at this point.

this means that an event is not properly disabled...
