I've always wondered what this whole event was all about, but never bothered enough to check, it seems...

It was supposed to look like this:

And it allows for the capture of the Sherman bonus unit using the highlighted trail.

:arrow: I guess there's just a turn start condition missing (or set up wrong) in the triggers.

I checked this out. I can't find anything wrong with it.

Thanks for checking, Bruce.
Yeah, it looks okay at first glance, but the problem is that the "turn start" trigger-event condition fires on any turn, that means it activates during the AI's turn. You can see the reveal happening then. The player gets the popup (too late) on their own turn while the "reveal" trigger's deactivated by then.

One solution is like this:

(- change the "Bonus: pocket X relieved" trigger event to "move event" <- this is probably not necessary, but it improves the obj. counter)
- change the "Event: discover sneak route" trigger event to "turn start" AND add a "check turn" condition for the "red" alliance

Done. Not that complicated, right?
