Multiplayer not recording group pivots

There's an issue in multiplayer that keeps cropping up for me. I've just started Chaironeia, and my first move as the romans was to turn everyone about face in order to get my legion off of the rough ground. I used a group turns to do it for bot the legions and the cavalry. When my the turn came back from my opponent, all of my units were facing forward. I've seen this fairly regularly now. Since I can't do a group retreat, I'll have to do them one by one, and have effectively lost one turn. I installed the latest update yesterday and the problem obviously persists.

Thanks. This issue has not been reported before. We will look into correcting it for the next update.

Can you remember whether Force Selection was set to Auto?

The game we're playing now is the Battle of Chaironeia, so no force selection.

We are trying to track down the reason for this bug, but as far as I can tell
1) It only happens to Group Turns done during Side A's Deployment phase. Group Turns performed in Side B's deployment phase, or in either side's normal turn, do get recorded correctly.
2) It only happens when Side B does not have a Force Selection phase.
3) Single unit Turns get recorded correctly even in Side A's Deployment phase.
If your experience disagrees with any of the above points, please let us know, as it will help us to pin down the bug.

Nope, that sound accurate
