How do I evacuate British units in the Dunkirk scenario in Order of Battle

Post by JesperStormHansen »

I can´t figure out how to evacuate units from the Dunkirk Scenario.

Nothing happens when you set a units in one of the fields that is marked as a evacuate field and there is no way to make it happen.

What do I have to do and why is it not explained in the manual (that needs an update)?

Well, I haven't played this scenario yet, but look at the symbols:

On this picture, the (only) ship that is on some exit hex is roughly on the top center of it. But two hexes east (or right, let's say) from this hex, one can read "Air Undeploy"... AIR! :?

:arrow: Have you tested the other hexes with green Arrow present on this map, I mean those with a green rectangle and a small arrow pointing to the left? :wink:

Well.

It is the hexes you show with green markings! Thank you

That shows that you have to use symbols with care. It´s difficult to guess that an arrow pointing left, means that it is the hex below.

The one names "Air deploy" is only for aircrafts.

I agree with you, the arrow should be pointed inside the rectangle :

...or no arrow at all.
