I'm just barely surviving at "hard" level, trying to build a new unit before the evil enemy sovie attacks my capitol.

As I next turn, my new unit briefly appears outside my city, then the foe attacks and my new unit is NOT in the battle.  After the fight it is still sitting around outside.   Bug or WAD?  And would the new unit have been there to help in the emergency if I had enabled the "auto station new units" in gameplay options?? (about to try that).

Meanwhile, both surviving enemies have just done me huge favors by attacking my capitol with their sovie and some heroes when they weren't strong enough.  I think either could have stomped my regular army in the open field, but my city militia plus bonuses for hedge-wall & barracks saved my ass.  Now I have extra  xp levels plus nifty captured weapons, and things are looking much better.  Just a hint to the AI.
