This happens before and is still happening, when the army is involved in a battle, sometimes the oppononents' animation stops and it seems the army is having free attacks. (the opposite also happens) Most times I don't notice it because the free attack may not result in HP losses(like artillery) but last time my legion army chopped three HP off a Hoplite in a city while the Hoplite's animation stopped, so I suspect it's real. Has anyone have the same problem?

I've seen it too, but I don't think any free attacks are given. I've seen my army get wasted pretty badly while the defending unit didn't move at all. I think it's just a display problem.

I've seen this happen only when the unit is being shuffled out and replaced by a new unit. I just figured it represented confusion on the battlefield. No biggie to me though as it doesn't happen every single time. I can say though that I've mostly seen it when my armies are attacking another army.
