Summary

0009235: Military dwarves not equipping

Description

Military dwarves aren't equipping some of their assigned equipment.

Steps To Reproduce

- Load the save :
http://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=11376 [^]

- Press m to go to the military screen

- Select the "Assault of Channelng" squad

- press e to go to the equip menu

- check all the soldiers of the squad and notice how all are assigned an iron helm specifically and there's the icon that means they claimed it

- notice how it's set for each of them to "Replace clothing" (as helms can get over existing headgear)

- exit the military screen, check the related soldiers and notice how they are still wearing their silly cap instead of the dozne of iron helm i have assigned to them (they didn't do it with the "metal headgear" by default too).

- you can let time move (it's been like that since 2 years anyways) and they will still not go wear their helms or other piece of armor

On the board some people have mentionned the same happen for gauntlets/breastplate/etc , i have some of those and indeed despite they are all set to equip metal things, they just do not, even despite the "replace clothing"

Additional Information

While it happened in df2014 too sometime, it wasn't important as sieges were broken anyways and there was no real difficulty in beating the rare weak ones that came.

But in 42.01 it's a very bad bug , near game breaking considering sieges are now fixed and back to decent strength.
