Bug: version 1.05: Crash when pressing "S" during deployment

Hey, I encountered a problem during deployment of the Barbarossa mission in the main campaign of the game: When I press the "S" key the game crashes with an unhandled exception error. I'm running the game on Windows XP, on an AMD Athlon 2400+, with 1,5 gb RAM, and a Radeon HD 3450 graphics card. That's a bit annoying because this key is right next to the "d"-key needed to disband units. Have to test if this also occurs in the deployment phase in other missions.
BTW: Disbanding should be an UI button like in the original Panzer General games. It's a bit irritating that this function can only be reached via a hotkey, and the tutorial doesn't really hint to that function, which is needed a bit more because of the new replacement system compared to the original game (no automatic replacements after each mission).

It's because the supply button is not recognized during the deployment phase.
If you deselect your unit 'z' and press 's' during deploy phase, no crash.
Thanks for your report, we'll see about addressing this when we get around to a new patch.

Thanks for the reply and the tip. I wasn't aware that you can deselect a unit using the 'z'-key. I hope this problem be fixed in future patches.
And please think about adding a 'Disband'-button, too.
