Tournament, Possible Bug?

Greetings,

I encountered a strange situation in the latest tournament and was wondering if someone could look into what happened... basically, it looks like part of my previous turn somehow didn't count. It sounds kinda weird, but that's the best way I can think to describe it.

The veteran hastati/principes in the yellow circle had been routed in my previous turn by the cavalry in the green circle (the cavalry was not engaged with the triarii at the time). The veteran hastati/principes had then routed to square B, from where they lost the close combat in square A. The cavalry unit was in pursuit. That is how I ended my turn in the morning. When I opened it back up for my next turn later in the afternoon, the veteran hastati/principes was still fighting in square A! Imagine my surprise. Then the triarii charged my cavalry in the replay. The veteran hastati/principes were eventually routed and fled to where you see them in the screenshot, but I was very confused and decided to take the screenshot to see if we could determine what happened. I am 100% confident that I didn't imagine this... resolving the cavalry combat on my previous turn was my top priority, because I wanted them to defeat the veteran hastati/principes before the triarii could charge. that is what occurred... until it somehow didn't "take" -- not sure what else to say, LOL.

Anyway, is this a known issue? Any idea what might be going on? Thanks in advance, love this game and am greatly enjoying the tournaments.

There is a known issue that can cause the replay to play out differently in certain unusual circumstances. As the replay starts with the situation at the start of the enemy turn and actually reconstructs the position at the end of the other player's turn rather than simply being a video, this can result in the situation being different when the game returns to the other player.

A fix for this is being tested in the v1.5.33 open beta, and we hope to release the new version soon after the current tournament is finished.
