When playing a random generated battle is there a way to choose whether your forces start on the left or right side of the map?

Sides are assigned depending on battle location and given country, for example russia will always be on the right side, while the USA always on the left side. I have read explanations about it being determined by the code itself. The answer is: There isn`t any way to choose on what side you want to play.

There is a way http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif Select such a country that you'll get desired sides (IIRC for example Russia vs. China has Russia on the left, and when playing USA against DPRK I was always on the right) and then buy whatever you want for yourself as "Allied" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I was never there either but suffice to say our Communist Party chairman was there not too long ago and tells everyone how great it'd be there if not for those pesky imperialist ploys, so who am I to doubt his words? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

LOL, now I get the black sarcastic sense of humor, what Communist Party are you talking about?

Why, Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia of course, proudly standing by the heritage of 1950's http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Regardless of which side I'm started on, I simply cycle the "Redraw Map for current battle location" button to find a suitable terrain layout for the approach I want to try. The side you're stuck with then becomes a non-issue.

Oh, and in the spirit of the previous posts, don't forget to "hold the Red Star proudly high in hand"! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
