Vartan if there was a programming glitch it is news to me. What proof do you have, from the programmers or game developers themselves, that it is an actual glitch, and not a game feature that you simply disagree with?

For my part I have seen my troops many times lose stamina in guard mode if they are strongly pressed and pushed off of their original station. They also never conserve stamina if they are set in guard mode and ordered to move to another station, and get attacked before reaching it.
