Well, I ran into this as well (no names listed for any bases), and tried the workaround svidangel suggested: - exit and restart the game; - start a new game, check if it is possible to recruit new soldiers (it was); - load my original game from within the new game; After this I was able to hire soldiers, which actually arrived later on without glitches. If this won't fix it for you, you might try to transfer a few of your soldiers to the new base before trying to hire new ones - I;ve had an issues with buying hunters that was fixed by this trick.

[V16 Buying a hunter causes CTD] Probably caused by it being the first hunter in a new base. Workaround: transfer a hunter from another base, hunters can be bought after the transfer arrives.

I am experiencing this in V16.1.2/V16.1 * as well. The problem occurs in a North America Base as well, but I think this is a coincidence. This base is my second base, where I (accidentally) built 2 garages, so I have 6 vehicle slots available there. Buying a hunter causes the CTD, the CTD is upon confirming the "Are you sure?" dialog. Note that it's the first vehicle for this base. I tried buying a extra hunter at my (first) base in Indochina, where I already have 2 hunters available, there it's no problem. It might be because the labour is cheap over in China? ;-) Anyway, I relocated a hunter from Indochina to North America base, which caused no problems either. THEN I tried to buy a hunter in North America (which now had only 5 slots available), and suddenly no CTD. I guess the problem is somehow related to it being the first vehicle in the base. Another thing, though I don't think it is relevant for the issue, in the vehicle selection list (for now only hunter) left to the name of the vehicle, a black box where I would expect a picture of the vehicle is shown. Probably just a missing sprite, nothing to do with the issue in this report. * the Desura archive was named V16.1.2.rar, the extracted game has a V16.1 path
