axe thrower dud

[3MKA]

Posted this once on the bug reports forum.

The axethrowers will sometimes not throw their "axes" (spears), the animation plays but they throw nothing. It seems to occur more often when their target is on an elevated position or generally when they have to throw in an arc. Although I did notice it happen when their target was right in front of them.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Is this a bug with M2tw or is their something that has to be fixed with the animations which we will see in later versions?

If its with M2tw is there a definite way to mitigate the problem. i.e. positioning?

If they aim their axes but the target gets out of their range, they'll do that.
If they aim their axes and you tell them to stop, they'll also do that.
If they aim their axes, but because of skirmish mode they decide to retreat, they'll also do that.
Also sometimes the fire at will mode will tell them to fire when the enemy is not actually in their range. Easiest way to find out is place your mouse on the ground near the enemy. If the small arrow that appears near the cursor is red, then this is the case.
