:point_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
in stand ground stance, once a Skirmisher is targeting a unit, if that unit is less that minimum range of that unit, Skirmisher do not switch target to attack other possible unit while standing. instead it just stand here

:arrow_forward: REPRODUCTION STEPS

:point_down: List CLEAR and DETAILED STEPS we can take to reproduce the issue ourselves… Be descriptive!

Here’s the steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Select a Skirmisher
  2. stand ground attack stance
  3. Let skirmisher auto find a target (example: a scout) and attack a scout which is within range and not in minimum range
  4. that scout go to attack that Skirmisher
  5. since that scout is in 1 range, Skirmisher cannot attack that scout. I suppose Skirmisher should switch target and attack any other unit which is within Skirmisher range while standing. but it just stand here and do not try to switch target

:arrow_forward: EXPECTED RESULT

:point_down: What was SUPPOSED to happen if the bug you encountered were not present?
the Skirmisher should find another target which is within its attack range.

this might be related to or the same as this bug I reported a week ago (but which wasn’t acknowledged yet). there too, skirms completely freeze once a light cav is inside their minimum range

What is your attack stance? As least your skirm try to switch target
But my case is that skirm just frozen with stand ground stance
