Author Topic:   Possible 'Copter Bug?

ddayjoe44 posted 07-29-99 05:52 PM ET
Something I just noticed, since loading Enhancement 4.0. (Could I have missed it playing earlier versions??) When I send a copter to take out an enemy improvement, the copter does not have the option of flying back to home base, but rather stays put, after the attempt, (successful or not) and takes a 30% damage assessment. This doesn't happen when I attack troops. The copter has always had the option of continuing to attack (if there are a number of moves left.) BTW, I'm playing at "Talent" level. I have always played at a lower level in the past. Any ideas?

This is how it is supposed to work. Pillaging (destroying) a terrain improvement takes up a unit's remaining movement points, regardless of the chassis.
The best advice is to not pillage with 'copters.
