There is a way to change the starting side from side 0 to side 1

The only way to do this is to edit a copy of the scenario .BAM file. Fortunately the process is relatively simple.

1 - Swap the values of SIDEID0 and SIDEID1
2 - Search for "_0_" replace with "_2_"
3 - Search for "_1_" replace with "_0_"
4 - Search for "_2_" replace with "_1_"
5 - Change UNITCOUNT_0 to UNITCOUNT_1
6 - Change UNITCOUNT_1 to UNITCOUNT_0

When you load the file in the editor, Side0 will have become Side 1 and vice versa. The map will remain the same.

Thanks. Very interesting Richard, with this method one can change side with AI, but i just wanted only that AI start first.

Ah. Well the answer to that is you can't if you don't want a deployment phase. In Gravelines scenario I had to script the player side units as cannot control on the 1st turn, so the player did get the first turn but could not do anything in it.

Wow! Richard, i made copy and paste your Gravelines script and all work very well !
