Special Boat Services - Do they work rightly?

Post by tjk »

I play Order of Battle, Version 5.2.3 [64 bit].

Playing Burma Road, Battle of Sittang Bridge, strange things happen using the Special Boat Services (SBS).

I wanted to cross the water with two units of SBS´42.

1. I placed them at the coast and switched them to "Amphibious mode".
2. The picture of the units changed to two soldiers in a boat and showed the text "Special Boat Services".
3. I let the units cross the water.
4. I let them exit the water.
5. The picture changed to soldiers afoot and showed the text "Special Services ´40".
6. And not only the text is set back from ´42 to ´40, also the combat values are those from SBS ´40.

I haven´t found anything in the forum to this. Am I the first recognising this?

@GabeKnight: Thanks for your quick reply.

So let´s hope the designers will fix this.
