Playing Ladoga-Karelia 41, I found that when you eliminate the BT-7 unit you are automatically awarded a looted BT-7.
This isn't mentioned in the scenario info.
Anybody else discovered this in other scenarios?

Yes, sometimes scenario designers either intentionally not mention it or forget to mention it then say they meant not to mention it. ;)

Some scen designers in ALL games have got a mischievous streak and like to prank us with little surprises; some are pleasant surprises and some are not.
Example of the latter- in one WW2 Combat Mission scen the designer decided to tweak the game engine to let us be hit by airstrikes at night in bad weather.
He probably thought it was funny, but from then on we avoided playing any of his scens because he'd got a reputation as a childish joker.
Thankfully OOB is free of designer jokers. Almost..;)

Two words: US Pacific: Guadalcanal

Ok, it's actually three words but you get the point.
