Anybody noticed how ammo multiplies all by itself in this game.  I've got
the latest patch (1.2, I think) and I've thought something was up a lot of
times, but I just "proved" it.  Had 3 guys who each went on a mission with
an AK-47.  There were no additional weapons in the pool and there were 15
clips left when I was done equipping my squad.  The mission was a normal
"kill the bad guys" mission, and I was no informed of finding any AK-47s
nor ammo at the end of the mission.  When I got back to base, after my
squad was re-equipped, I had the same number of full clips equipped and yet
had 18 of them in the pool.  Seems like clips that aren't depleted fully
are not only refilled for "free" but also get dumped back into the pool.
Kinda makes limited ammo pretty pointless.

Anybody else noticed this?  Anyway, I'm really enjoying the game.  It can
be hard but here's hoping it's a success and they make an even better one.
