Resolved [1.8.0 beta] Player starts battle with the cavalry despite being captain of another formation

[snuggans]

Summary: the player spawns with cavalry formation if theyre mounted, despite being captain of another formation. the way to sidestep this issue is to remove yourself as captain and make yourself captain again at the start of each battle, then you will properly spawn with the formation you choose
How to Reproduce:
1. The player must first already be assigned to a formation in a previous battle, in my case I had assigned myself captain of infantry formation. Note: I am mounted
2. Start a new battle, you will spawn alongside the cavalry instead of with the infantry
Have you used cheats and if so which: No

Yeah these new formations/groups are very annoying. That's a small problem honestly, my main complain is in sieges where it always messes up and autogroups, plus autoorders troops.
