I don't care much of historical accuracy. As long as I get my BAR riflemen I am forever happy in CoH2. After all, they are different fronts but the allies/axis share the same objectives.
Yeah the move order seeems to correct the bug, however it is time consuming to always remember to do this.
It probably has something to do with units having their 'currently fighting' tag associated with them, the medics won't heal them and it doesn't reset til a movement command is issued.
I like them. They are highly situational units however and I find that they excel against Soviet players who have either Shocks and/or do not build T3.
I highly recommend you watch this game if you wish to learn multiple ways to utilize the 250HT. Thanks to Atr3uh for the cast!
