My unit is chasing the prisoners all around the map
and I can hear the sound of fisticuffs
all the time. What's going on?
This seems to occur because of a slight fault in th
e way the game treats prisoners. Once a soldier
surrenders, he follows the unit he surrender to aro
und the map (or transfers to a lower ranked unit
as detailed above). However, he can be released if
the capturing unit is killed or if it itself
surrenders. When this happens the prisoner makes hi
s way to the corresponding side of the map
(left for Germans, right for Allies) and exits. Dur
ing this period when he is making his way off the
map, the prisoner won't attack any enemy units, but
is still a legitimate target (in the same way
that artillery or vehicle crew are when they abando
n their gun/vehicle). What can happen is that
the fleeing soldier stumbles across another enemy u
nit who then attempts to recapture him.
