Error in the Arnhem Map?

Post by GottaLove88s »

Hi guys, Still loving the best iPad download available. I'm in the middle of an Arnhem game with Citizen6 (he's foiling my evil German plans nicely). So I'm trying to outflank him, taking armour and transports round the side. Are certain areas of the Arnhem map locked out for the Germans, in particular the roads and ground around the church (in the southeast, orienting the map where the river runs E to W and the bridge S to N). I can't move into these areas with armour or infantry. I can't suppress them (doesn't offer that option). It's like these areas are completely locked out. Annoying because flanking seems the obvious thing to do... Any ideas? Thanks.

Update on Arnhem map error: I still can't get into certain areas of the Arnhem map, eg. the church and most of the roads surrounding it, in the southeast corner (looking towards the bridge as the Germans). BUT THE BRIT PARAS CAN!! My opponent just snuck into the church in a place where my units absolutely cannot go (and I can't even fire on those areas so it's not because he's there already). I've tried bringing some of the reinforcement units (a PzIV tank) around from the west towards the southeast, and that's blocked from going south (about six moves in any direction, but none going south into a road with nothing on it). It won't even go to where my original units started from. All slightly weird and no reported errors. Anyone any idea what's going on? I heard this map was hard to win, but like this, it's impossible...

Thought it's easier to use a picture to explain than my hamfisted words... Here's a standard German PzIV tank that has lots of moves in pretty much any direction... EXCEPT SOUTH... there's nothing on the road... the tank has two shots left but there is no option to fire, just to turn to face the south... so there's nothing hiding there, but no way to go there either... Huh?

And in another part of the same map, a healthy German engineer (inside the building with the left edge of the green square showing; unit is actually hidden by perspective) with lots of moves remaining, two shots and four sticks of dynamite, won't go inside the church, and won't fire on anything that otherwise might be hiding there... is this a religious feature lol? :roll: (looking up at God?)

The tank cannot move to the tile because the tile is defined as a Cliff: (39,45) (1), in the map MP_Arnhem. This is probably a map bug, Pip will say the last word.
In the second image, I think it's just because the hedge blocks the infantry move.
That map as several issues (in my oppinion), I remember i've reported some previously, 42,21 is also defined as cliff.

Haha, thanks Enric... oh it's those famous white cliffs of Arnhem... no wonder I can't move any of my fast units anywhere... feel a little less foolish now
