Salerno Counter-Attack Question [Spoiler?]

[b52pilot1]

In US Corps DLC '43, Salerno Counter-Attack scenario, I get a pop-up message at the very beginning of the scenario that says " A special unit has arrived at Salerno". There is no "special unit" that I can find! What is the meaning of this pop-up message? Is it a special unit for the Germans that are attacking the US forces?

If I remember correctly it's an infantry unit with a special hero. It should appear reasonably close to the city.

Does the unit spawn on Turn 1...or later in the scenario? I am on Turn 4 now, and now special unit so far....

I just replayed this scenario on iPad, and I can confirm that no special unit appears. The game THINKS that one has, however: I lost a regular core unit--a Sherman, naturally--and when I went to replace it, the game reported that I had no open slots. B52pilot1, are you playing on iPad? If so, the problem may be restricted to that format.

Not playing on ipad... playing on regular laptop PC. Maybe this is a technical problem for the game developers to address?

The US infantry unit (hero Audie Murphy) appears on hex (11,12) in the city of Salerno, immediately after the deployment phase , thus at the start of the first game turn.

I just replayed the scenario and sure enough, the "special unit" appeared like you said at hex 11,12. Not sure why it didn't work the first time.
