Scenario 1:
1. place an AI unit (I used a nato infantry squad)
2. drag it to another location (I placed them inside the western city)
3. give them a way point to follow
result : the squad does not respond , instead the squad leader starts walking backwards (literally walking backwards not even turning around)
towards the place I dragged it from (~200 meters away)
when they arrive , they start moving to the waypoint (now over 200 meters away)
Scenario 2:
Same as above only this time give the unit a waypoint prior to dragging them
drag them
and give it another waypoint
