quick battle invasion of defended planet

Crusade, latest version, I think theres something wrong with the invasion logic. I ran the quick battle half a dozen times. I invaded with 9 legions a planet defended with 5. I had overwhelming superiority (87 vs 17) and every time I was defeated. when I looked at the planet after the battle, there were no legions defending it. im fairly certain there is a bug somewhere, since that should've meant I won the invasion battle but yet I did not.

You're probably right about describing it as a bug.

The problem is that (currently, Crusade v2.3) you need to place all your legions on a single field/tile (= acting as a single army) when invading a planet, or else the defenders will crush your diverted (single) legions one by one.

I always lost my invasions (manually, auto) despite having the same superiority as you.

Then I read in some post that you (again, currently Crusade v2.3) have to - manually - place all legions in one tile so that they would actually act as one.

Since then I always win...

manually I have no problem. it just happened again. I invaded earth with 14 legions to his 10, and by advantage was 127:16... I ran the quick battle and lost. I reloaded the game and manually placed my legions (I also noticed you can put as many legions as you want on any hex, not just one) so I doubled and tripled up on a half dozen hexes and didn't lose a single legion. definitely something wonky with the quickbattle logic.

It's a known issue.

Please submit your saved game file as a help ticket for analysis and maybe it will help prioritize the problem. It's been this way since 2.0.
