Default Re: Map border oddity

Talking about map oddities Iīm experiencing these two issues:

1.- I have this scenario (Russia vs GB ME)on a 30x40 map with a victory hex located on the upper left corner of the map. I just couldnīt edit that v hex with the scen editor The point is: I played the scenario as russia and by turn 3 I didnīt encounter much resistance, so I switched sides and I realized that almost all GBīs units headed towards the off map victory hex and vanished from battle, meaning they got off map. Attached is the scenario (No. 160) and a couple of screen shots

2.- After experiencing the above mentioned shortcoming I switched to battle mode and loaded the same map, this time I was able to re-locate all v hexes inside the map, so I bought my force and the AIīs, turning just itīs purchasing option to human(Iīm doing some experimentations), and again after a couple of turns I wasnīt given much resistance, so again I switched sides and noticed that there wasnīt any armor, a full platoon of chieftains was not there and listed as "reinforce 3", somehow the AI deployed em that way. I thought reinforcements were available only in scenarios not in battles, as I donīt recall reading about it in the game manual. Attached is the saved game (the GBīs tanks are about to enter the field)

Iīm running v 2.51 CD, I hope someone can help, thanks in advance.

*********ALL vicotry hexes must be placed when building a sceanrio even if you do not need them all just give them zero for a value and "hide" them under the ones you do use

Thanks for the reply Don, I appreciate

My problem is I canīt edit that hex in any form with the editor, so I canīt hide it nor assign it any value. Is it "normal" (or a known issue) for units to get off the field when one of this off map v hexes appear?

Thanks in advance

You don't edit that hex. You edit the V hex flags. Press " N " then " O "( the letter not the number ) to center the red hex outline on the V hex you are working on. Once you see the red outline around the one in the upper left move it to where you want it. There were a half dozen or so in the upper left. Attached is the correction. You just need to ensure they have no value then hide them in with the ones that do have value( the one "Russian" one was worth 200 points and that's why all the Brits went for it )

Attached is sceanrio 160 corrected

Thanks a lot Don I see clear now, my problem was I didnīt know there were a dozen of them in the upper left, I thought it was just one and thatīs why I believed I couldnīt edit it properly.

No problem. This has confused even experienced sceanrio designers sometimes.
