question about skirmish maps

Post by FrancoisPhilidor »

Hi,

a question about skirmish maps:

Why is it when you create a skirmish map, the choice of units and abilities you are given is always different, and sometimes really strange?
Once the game gave me air support that I didn't ask for, and failed to give me this basic healing/reinforcement ability for infantry, that I was hoping for.
Or once the game gave me AT guns but no trucks to transport them.

What's the best way to pre-select certain units and abilities in skirmish games?

Also, I have the feeling on one map where I chose to be the attacker, and chose full unit selection, I was not given the option to choose units at all. While as the defender I could choose all units without problems.

Thanks

IIRC the skirmish campaign for BA1 is a user addition. The BA2 skirmish is more fully featured.

Cheers

I have Battle Academy 2. But there is no way to select which abilities you want to have for your skirmish. Also sometimes the unit choice is not amazing. Although it seems the skirmish mods by Paul improve on that?
