[V7.2.0 - ground combat] - minor gfx glitch - soldier still animated as holding shield, but shield was destroyed last turn

minor gfx glitch - soldier still animated as holding shield, but shield was destroyed last turn

What Happened

 Day 296, 2nd alien base mission of campaign.

During previous turn, I forgot sibellians can take multiple flashbangs to suppress, my shield guy opened the door, threw a flashbang, it didn't suppress the sibellian, then my squad got reaction fired by the sibellian's plasma machine gun. This destroyed a shield, killed a soldier, suppressed 4/5 of the survivors. All expected, complete mayhem & and working as intended.

But, the next turn, I noticed that the shield soldier is still animated as holding a shield, despite it being missing from the primary slot after being destroyed by fusion rounds.

Thanks for the bug report! We're aware of this one but unfortunately without a way to reproduce the bug(loading a save prior to the bugged state), it might take a while for us to figure it out.

EDIT: Took me some time to try out a few things but I was able to reproduce it, thanks again!
