Use blunt weapons command crashes 90% of the time.  Getting very exasperated at this.  I have decided to just not use it but just now crashed by using it by mistake GRRRR!!!

Yeah, surprised this was never fixed since I last played.  The problem seems to be if you have units in melee that are already mid-swing with their non-blunt weapons.  When you tell them to switch, the game doesn't seem to handle it well and just crashes.  If I wait until no units are within melee range of one another (using the command map), then I seem to switch without any problems, as ranged weapons don't seem to have this issue.

Ibo, I've forwarded that post to the devs on the BugTracker, but if any of the rest of you experiencing this have anything else to add, please post on the BugTracker's report for this bug.

It has been flagged as need more information from players, without a response, for almost a year: BugID#3140, or, more recently BugID#3470

May I ask what version and/or mods of the game you all are using which encounters this problem? I havnt seen this problem for myself in 1.134 native or 1.134 diplo+ with PBOD

Native 1.143 with some MBtweaks.  Ibo's mid-swing theory sounds about right since I usually use it during the mopping up phase at the end of the battle to round up a few prisoners to sell.

Yeah, just played around with it pre-battle and had no issues.  The problem is during the fighting.
