Just trying to wrap my head around it all.

Waypoints are for the
AI controlled force. If a human sets a force to AI controlled, it's an "AI" force - but I have no idea if the scenario designer's waypoints would be carried forwards to a human owned AI controlled force. They MAY do so, provided the scenario designer made them under computer control, but that
may not be available to the scenario designer - you will have to experiment and see, if interested.
Remember that an AI force will drop thier waypoints list if they decide to engage a nearby enemy force, or if they wander close enough to an enemy controlled V-hex. They will not slavishly obey them in other words. The AI force also igores any remaining waypoints after about 66% of a game is played.
