[1.1 Bug] Bone Ogre uses crushing blow as a ranged attack

I just had a battle with a Bone Ogre's army where the Bone Ogre "cast" crushing blow like it was a spell instead of a skill, annihilating one of my units across the battlefield.  In case it's not clear, it used the crushing blow skill as a ranged attack on a unit 7 tiles away.

It's the auto resolve. Special abilities like impale, cleave, gust of wind, ignys fire breath, and now (I know this thanks to you) crushing blow, are bugged in auto resolve. 

The main problem is that area of effect becomes glitched for these abilities. Crushing blow gets range. For most of the others, they hit ALL enemies, not just those in area of effect. 

Also, impale seems (cleave too, I think) to do a lot more damage than it should. Gust of wind does damage - it shouldn't.

Part of the risk of auto resolve, at least until this gets fixed. 

I'll post a link to the thread where this was discussed.

Ogres have really strong lungs, and have you ever smelled their breath? You're lucky it only knocked one of your units out when it blew at you. :)

You're lucky it didn't use its other breath weapon "Stinking Blast".

I didn't use auto-resolve, so that's not it.  Although maybe it is broken in auto-resolve too, who knows?

BTW, I reloaded from a save I had made prior to the battle, re-fought it manually just as I had before, and this time the Ogre used throw boulder.

This happened to me several times in my last game as well.  Really startled me the first time when the ogre whacked a until 3 tiles away.

I had this happen in only one battle. It happened since 1.0. ogre crushed my mages is the back line. about 7 tiles away.

I have had this occur on several occasions even during the beta.   I don't think I reported it though.  To be3 honest I kinda liked the idea of the bone ogre being more dangerous.

The Ogre "ranged" crushing blow issue is still here. It was happening in my previous 1.2 game and it's also happening in my current Quest DLC game.

 

My poor baby Naja never had a chance!

I think it only happens when the Ogre is next to one of your other units already, but I may be wrong.
