Lost general

I was doing the bounty hunter mission and finished off all the camps. I sent my general home without claiming my rewards because I didn't know until reading a post in the forum that that is what you needed to do. So I decided to send my general back to the island and while waiting I claimed the reward and finished the quest. My general and all the men with him have now vanished and I'm one general and a whole army short. Any suggestions or has anyone seen my general. Please fix this so others doen't lose there general and hard earned units! :(

Your general takes 30 minutes (15 minutes for BHG, Vet or Grim) to return to your island after the adventure. Check your star menu for the arrival time. If he's not there then you may have an issue.
