Scavenging

[william1993]

I have noticed this. let's say a regiment has 35 rounds of ammunition. They melee and win. Next thing I see they have 60 rounds. Is this an example of scavenging such as in real life or a bug? Whatever it is, I like it.

Maybe - i hadnt heard of it though - id need to check it myself.

William, do you click charge multiple times when you are meleeing?

[william1993]

In singleplayer, sometimes. I did in multiplayer the other day but then I stopped. It don't help much, though. But more times they auto charge, I push the retreat button(when they are TCd) and then run off then turn right back around and charge some more. How do you stop that.

No way to stop it yet.

Im just wondering if the scavenging is a symptom of that bug too..

It's a feature. Troops often resupplied themselves from the ammo pouches of the dead and wounded. The game reflects this.

brilliant - i never noticed that

So if I have a regiment and they are low I can just sit them on some corpses for a while? Yay for corpses!
