What's wrong with this?

OK - As your opponent had these, and the same problem happened, I was able to locate the problem and fixed that bug.

It only seems to be happening on PBEM campaign deployment (works OK in a generated battle anyway), but the things are being marked as offmap units. So the N/P key does not select them, and they are not lined up with the rest of the onmap troops. To deploy on the map for now, select them from the force menu and then deploy on the map by clicking the spot desired.

It doesn't matter that they don't look like Patriots?
I will have in mind for our next game since we decided to end this campaign.

Oh, and thank you.

What do not look like patriots? - They are a generic SAM box launcher icon, if that was your complaint.

Best to restart, since choosing a location setting other than default will currently give you spurious batlocs in the PBEM campaign.


If you have badly damaged units, the deployment code puts these off map at the start, currently. however should you select "deploy all" then they are placed on the map, or if you select them from the list you can place them. Best not to use deploy all (leave that for the AI) and not to select from the list - to preserve your crews experience, there will be a better fix for that, which I am working on currently to disallow any user deployment of unrepaired units with damage > 1/2 points value on the map.

When I was trying and succeeding to deploy the patriots in the particular case, they would not appear as the launchers but as something like a truck. And because I tried later on a single battle to check them, they looked nothing like that.

When you say about damage, each unit can have max damage as its cost? (when trying to deploy them). So, for example, how do I know that unit A that has damage 40 is at 1/2 or less of max damage for that unit?

look at unit 185 in the greek OOB in Mobhack - it looks lie a trailer, somewhat.

Cost (points value) is given in the info screen for the unit.

I think it looked more like 129, the 2 1/2 ton truck.
I guess I could not remember correctly, but I do remember that I found it very strange that it looked like that.
If it happens again I will let you know

Since I have played a lot of Greece vs Turkey battles at default settins for maps, you shouldn't fear, there will be plenty of mountains/hills there.
