Is the hex north of Brest supposed to be sea?

Post by Peter Stauffenberg »

I noticed that the hex just north of Brest in France is a sea hex. But the graphics inside this hex is 50% clear. Shouldn't this hex be clear instead of sea?

I also wonder if there should be a possibility to make emergency evacuations of units from a coastal hex NOT adjacent to a port. E. g. I sent a British motorized corps to France in 1939 and wanted to evacuate this unit when the French front collapsed. This was not possible and the British unit became out of supply when France surrendered had had to walk the hard way back to Brest to be able to evacuate. Since he was out of supply it never made it there because the German units caught up with it and destroyed it.

I think it should be possible to make evacuations like Dunquerque. Maybe any unit in a coastal hex not adjacent to a port should get a evacuation symbol similar to the port transport symbol or rail transport symbol? It should be different than the port transport symbol so people know they initiate an evacuation.

When you evacuate a unit you should lose some strength points. E. g. like this:
Infantry corps and garrisons: 1-3 points
Motorized corps: 1-5 points
Armor corps: 1-7 points

I like your evacuation idea, especially since when an ally you are fighting with surrenders, all the hexes become enemy controlled, like in Spain, and your units are out of supply. That is something a future patch needs to fix...
