Update: The above bug was consistent for quite a few battles (5 or so). Then I restarted the game, bug has gone away & red & green arrows are working as normal.
Bug:
*Very Rarely* are the red & green arrows (showing where a unit is going) missing ...
Probably not worth the developers time to look into this, unless bug appears more regularly ... so just leaving this bug report as a placeholder to see if this bug reappears ....
