MG #8 Glitch

When my XXX Corps arrives in scenario #8 my Priest & one other vehicle are outside of the play area. I can see them, but can't use them as they are on the wrong side of the border line.

Did you try to move them into the play area?

Yep, I can't highlight them or anything. I managed to win the scenario w/o them -- but that indirect fire would have been nice to have.

Another way to select a unit is to use the TAB key ... In your case this may have helped.

The problem sounds like the deploy location tiles ... Perhaps the reason why it fell "out-of-bounds" was because the logic can't place the unit on top of another so it finds the next adjacent tile to deploy the unit. There are some conditions that prevent the deployment of units outside of the playing area and maybe you had more units carryover to that mission than was expected ... In other words, you had too many eggs in your basket.

I had no idea about the TAB key. I went back into the scenario and tried doing that and it allowed me move the units into the playing field. Thanks for the tip.

Great ! A little work around helps.
