Append trouble

I have a set of global variables that need to keep track of how many units are in each squad. To keep the code repitition down I am attempting to use append to string a global variable together for checking.

I can't seem to figure out why if (("$Squad" @ %SquadID @ "Count") < $SquadUnitMax){ is always true, even if %SquadID = 1 and $Squad1Count passes beyond $SquadUnitMax.

I have done echos to make sure everything is ok, and it seems to be... I am missing something.

if (("$Squad" @ %SquadID @ "Count") < $SquadUnitMax){ // if there is room in that Squad
			echo("Yay there's room");

			// -- Add Joining code here

			%AppendVar = "$Squad" @ %SquadID @ "Count";
			echo(%AppendVar);
			echo(%AppendVar @ "=" @ $Squad1Count);
			switch$(%AppendVar){
				case "$Squad1Count" :
					$Squad1Count += 1;
				case "$Squad2Count" :
					$Squad2Count += 1;
				case "$Squad3Count" :
					$Squad3Count += 1;
				case "$Squad4Count" :
					$Squad4Count += 1;
				case "$Squad5Count" :
					$Squad5Count += 1;
				case "$Squad6Count" :
					$Squad6Count += 1;
				case "$Squad7Count" :
					$Squad7Count += 1;
				case "$Squad8Count" :
					$Squad8Count += 1;
				case "$Squad9Count" :
					$Squad9Count += 1;
				case "$Squad10Count" :
					$Squad10Count += 1;
			}
		}
		else {
			echo("No Room in Squad");
		}

If anyone can jog my brain, that would be great.

Thanks,
