A number of patches released.....
http://community.battlefront.com/forum/113-combat-mission-general-discussion/
We've just released new patches for the following games:
Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy
Combat Mission: Black Sea
Combat Mission: Shock Force 2
Combat Mission: Fortress Italy
Combat Mission: Final Blitzkrieg
The patch for Red Thunder will come out with the release of the Fire and Rubble module.
The fixes for each game vary. Most are minor bug fixes and TO&E fixes. The one fix that they are share is that infantry is less likely to leave good cover when under fire. Infantry will not rout toward known enemy units.
Those infantry behavior improvements sound real nice. No more banzai charges! O0

Wasn't that fix part of every release note since ca. 2007? :)
Mostly, kinda kidding.

No, because the problem was not introduced until the CMx2 series was released, which if I recall, was sometime in 2011. I don't think the problem was even there until CMx2 was updated to engine 3 or 4.
I recall it was an Engine 4 artifact indeed. There was a supposed fix in the previous patch but is was inconsistent.
Having pushed for a fix for the infantry behavior for a long time (I was one of the first to point out the issue introduced with the version 4 upgrade) and someone who did a lot of behind the scenes beta testing, along with the other beta testers, I can confidently say that the bug has been thoroughly and completely squashed. Furthermore, the new TacAI behavior is quite good and in my opinion an improvement overall, but just a fix.

CMx2 was released July 27, 2007.
It had this problem.

Correct. Until the first 4.0 patch all conversation about infantry holding in place was subjective. Opinions, everywhere from "it's fooked" to "it is just right" and everywhere in between. The first 4.0 patch introduced a weird behavior where infantry would rout from behind hedgerows toward the enemy. No bueno. A patch was released to correct that and it seemed fine. Until a player sent me some test scenarios to show that it really wasn't fixed. That led to a different way of looking at the issue and what we have today. If anyone has followed my AAR/DAR you'll be able to see how hard it is to dislodge infantry from good cover.
Any news on the bug that prevents map makers from putting water at more than a single contour elevation?
