#954 Civilian bot deployment error

[Todd]

Hi,

In a campaign using the AtB rules, on more than one occassion the game hangs when the civilians are deploying.

The error code is:

This should probably be reported on the MegaMek bug tracker as it doesn't happen in HQ. Also, see https://sourceforge.net/p/megamek/wiki/bug_report_howto/ for proper bug reporting.
