I have played out this battle eight or nine times with no one event repeating to cause the ctd except perhaps any one characters death. Usually it's a blackshirt, once it was even Jake who accidentally got shot twice. It's a tad annoying as I'd rather not let these 24 blackshirts past on their way up to Drassen at the moment.

Thus my modded Omerta map complete with two laser sights and an FN .45 handgun the .454casul lever action rifle and two Alaskan revolvers (none of which I picked up) were still there. Everything else looks new and correct everywhere else I've been.
