Cannon in the Darkness

Another Ghost Unit ?
You could zoom more.
A savegame maybe ?

No, it's not another ghost unit but one of my heavy artillery guns surrounded by the fog of war.
Sorry, I do not have a save of this.

The (core) unit is still marked on the minimap, so it must exist. The fog-of-war is quite messed up in that area.
Some scenarios generate wrecks at start. Maybe it somehow got resurrected if it doesn't belong to your units.
It's spooky nevertheless!

If there's something weird
And it don't look good
Who you gonna call?

Without savegame, difficult to help you

If you are playing a campaign, you should activate this usefull function, "Autosave per turn" :

You can also save the replay at the end of the mission

I cant provide any useful help here.
But 'cannon in the darkness' has a Lovecraftian ring to it.

Cant see that in your user id file, must have been a temporary mistake.

Yep, that was the mysterious message.
I have to admit, that I bought black Adidas sneakers a couple of weeks ago

Did you modify the scen somehow? My version (v6.1.9) looks like this:

Good catch. Yes, I modified a little. I replaced airstrips with airports in some scenarios (no other changes) but that shouldn't affect the sight of units or the fog of war.

[Asap]

I tried to replicate that fog of war issue but I couldn't, everything was fine this time.
I guess, that it's some kind of a bug, which appears at times no matter what scenario.
I also noticed, that you occasionally have no fog of war at places on maps, with no reason and no friendly units around.

Triggers would be a reason. I wasn't talking about triggers that take away the fog of war.

I went to sell my OOB stock when I saw this! Erik, of all people?

Then rationality arrived . . . Erik was posting the aberration here, so . . . OOB stock is back in my portfolio!

Yeah, well, I thought, it could have been that you modded the scen and forgot about it or something...

Also I noticed a whole bunch of random triggers inside, one of them could be responsible for some "reveal/change ownership/whatever" effect gone wrong (I didn't check)... and this could explain why it wouldn't happen twice in a row, too.

What interest to change airstrips with airports
