Capture mission and reinforcements question

I´m playing a "Capture" missión at 2000 points with the NO reinforcements option activated yet i´m still getting reinforcements anyway every few turns. How come? Do you always get reinforcements in a capture game? :?

You shouldn't be with No Reinforcements option.

Are you still getting CR each turn?

Yes, every turn i get more CR and every 3th or 4th turn the "reinforcements" screens pop up and allowing to buy more squads.

Well, I think that means one of two things. Either you thought you selected the no reinforcements and didn’t or we have an issue here.

It can be the first one real easily though – I noticed I have done this a lot myself.
I will set all the setting the way I want it (forces and all game types) then I look for what map I want. If I happen to mouse over a save file (at the bottom) it will automatically set the setting back to what the save file is set for. I pick my map and start my game going – I know I didn’t pick this force to fight with.

Any possibility that something like that happened here?

Tried a couple of times, doublechecking that "no reinforcements" is selected and everything is working OK. Maybe it was the save game mouseover...i will keep an eye open, thanks!

Maybe - I know about it . . . and it still gets me from time to time.

I have tried to reproduce and not succeed! Hopefully it was just an old save :) Please inform us if it happen again and thank you this report! Even if for now it seems it was not a bug it may be a rarely happening bug and than it is good to have bug-reports like this if it would happen again!

I don’t know if it is a bug per say. at least what I was talking about – and maybe it isn’t what was happening to Ryben though. But I thought it sounded like it could be it.

Steps to reproduce what I was talking about:
* Set up a game – and play far enough to produce a save file.
* Set up a different game.
* Scroll through the maps until you get to the above save file and make sure you mouse over it.
* The setting to the game now go to what is in the save file.

I would think they should and would do this – so I wouldn’t think this is a bug of any kind.
