    In this game http://www.wargear.net/games/view/182924 Tesc ends her turn at Turn ID 349 with 6 units in Venezuela.  weathertop does not attack her there but yet by my turn she only has 3 units in Venezuela!

     

    Rebellion? Dysentery? Ghost Units?

    It appears the History shows 6 units...but the Live version doesn't (in either Player)...odd

    I've seen similar things - the history map gets a little out of whack

    On the nex turn, the units reappeared in the live version but when attacked acted as if there were 3-less units.

    The history can occasionally get out of sync with the live play - it's a consequence of the way that the data is logged to the database. It doesn't invalidate the live board state, but the history viewer will be screwy.

    so in other words: live version supersedes history, and that history may get gunked up at times?

    I'm a man.
    But I can change,
    if I have to,
    I guess...

    Yep exactly! There was a code update a month or two ago which made it much less likely to happen but it still can happen. The only way to stop it would be to make the database interaction transactional (like banking) but this would make the game engine and site significantly slower.
