Exclamation Re: Skittish VH Scenario #470

When that save game is saved as a scenario and the V hex placement ( objective 10 ) is checked the hex in question 31,12 does not show a V hex flag marker clearly but when placed in various other hexes it WILL show EXCEPT in that 31,12 but it will also not show clearly in 23,13 or 33,13 or 25,15..... I didn't check every one of the 2300+ hexes on the map but those 4 are indeed "dead" space where the V hex will not show clearly at the end of the game .



HOWEVER.......... ALL of those hexes I mentioned would not show a V hex clearly ( AND clearly IS KEY )
31,12
23,13
33,13
25,15

are all building hexes where bunkers were placed as well and have been destroyed...... 31,12 is , however, the ONLY one that also had a V-Hex placed in addition to the bunker so the "issue" is with V-hexes placed in buildings that have bunkers..... the rubble is not allowing the V hex to show through properly

BUT------that is NOT why you "lost" 100 points

That V hex you indicated ( 31,12 ) **IS** giving you 100 points but THIS ONE...



was overlooked becasue rubble was partially obscuring it and you did not take it and that is where the extra 100 points is coming from not 31,12

To be clear this is NOT a new "problem".... it's just very unusual to have that many bunkers placed in buildings that have V hexes....bunkers are like any game "piece" they sit over a V hex otherwise you wouldn't see them.... but when building and bunker are turned to rubble the combination of building, bunker and rubble pretty much buries the V hex marker.


BUT....... the "solution" IS ALL READY IN THE GAME... ( **if** you own the Extended CD version.......)

press

SHIFT+ |

( the key above \) and that clears the rubble and wreaks ( destroyed bunkers are classed as wreaks ) so you can see the V hexes clearly which will show you the one you missed was not the one you thought it was
