Using 1.16rc 9 late July '61 I presently have 4 separate cavalry rgts with this same name. I don't recall seeing this before and I've playtested games in the past where same name units in the OB caused problems. Just thought I would check on this.

First, you need to update to RC10a :D

AFAIK, The Game Engine will reuse a name when it runs out of names in DB.

Not an issue in geeral, but can be for some older events that "select by name".... which we'll fix if they arise...

ok, just checking thanks.
I suppose it would not be wise to update in the middle of a pbem game...

Nothing changed in the save-critical areas of DB, so you should be OK to update.

...as always, copy your save somewhere safe to be sure!
