General Advance Card w/ US Marine Corps Command (Pacific)

Quick question to the mind hive on the usage of General Advance w/ US Marine Corps Command rules in Pacific Theater. The way I read that card (and the way I have always played that card) is the US player can command 2 units per section plus 1 additional unit total across any of the three sections. So at most there can be only one section where 3 units can be played.

In a current game, my opponent was able to play 3 units in the left flank + 3 units in the center section + 1 unit in the right flank (the only unit they had there). So they were able to play 3 units in two different sections - is this the way the card should be played? In other words, would a player with US Marine Corps Command rules in effect be able to play a max of 3 units per each section?

Please post a link to the battle.

Were any on the units on a section border hex?
This would explain what you saw.

Note a total of 7 units activated - 3 from US left flank / 3 from US center / 1 from US right flank - there is a sea of US forces that moved into the Japanese right flank (US left flank)!

I looked into it and it most definitly is a bug.
General advance with Gung-Ho activated allows you to order 2 units per section + 1 additional unit regardless of the section so a total of 7 units.
In the replay it clearly shows 3 activated units on the left flank + 3 activated units in the center + 1 activated unit on the right flank.
That makes 2 times 3 units in a section which is not according to the rules

You should most definitly report this as a bug so BGA can fix this.
