Game Crashes to Desk Top

Tater,
What you're saying makes perfect sense to me, as there has just about always been a reported group nearby shortly before the crash. Here's the dates and locations that I can dredge up the correct saves of:

April 3, 1944 @ ~N14-20, E119-15
(Can't find the exact save for this one, but it's around) January 23, 1944 @ ~N3-00, E127-20
December 11, 1943 @ ~N1-00 E126-50
(Couldn't get this one to duplicate, but...) December 12, 1943 @ (very rough) S5-00, E125-00
There was one more in the vicinity of N3-30, E127-20, but the date is very rough (no save, went back and started mission over) at Late Feb-Early March 1944.

Thank you so much for the help - for now I'll avoid this latest broken group. If I knew what file to look in... Found it...

[Edit:] I've been looking through 43a_Jap_Convoys.mis (since the dates match my problems) and I think I got the hang of reading it... If No=x means that it will spawn x many of those ships when it spawns, then RndGroup 13 may be missing one. It has 5 columns, but I only see 4 guaranteed ships (two Rndunit 1, two RndUnit 5). RndGroup 20 has 3 columns and only two guaranteed ships (two RndUnit 1). RndGroup 23 has 5 columns and only 2 guaranteed RndUnit 1s. RndGroup 34 has 2 columns and only one guaranteed (RndUnit 1).

Is that what you're talking about?
