Blitzkrieg Smolensk fix

If you've ever wondered about these situations when playing the Smolenks scen within Blitzkrieg DLC:
Why Roslavl has whole hordes of Soviet armies to its defense while Yelnya only has one bunker?
And why the reward for taking either of those towns always spawns near Roslavl?

...then the answer is: because it's not working as intended.
Those units are supposed to spawn
after either of those towns are taken and proceed as a "final counter-attack" to the respective destinations as shown in the screenshot.
Faulty trigger settings activate both counter-attacks at the same time at scenario start, moving towards Roslavl only, because of overlapping AI orders.
Also the unit-reward triggers are set up wrong, always resulting in the spawn of said reward units near Roslovl. Although the original setup suggests a spawn near the respective captured town (Roslavl or Yelnya).

I'm in the process of fixing those issues and testing them. I'll post the results here afterwards.

I agree, besides, I would add that this is a serious inaccuracy with facts, because Roslavl was quite easily captured, but there were serious fights near Yelnya - there were directed Soviet divisions
So I'm waiting impatiently for your fix

Not all units heading for Yelnya are shown in the screeshot, BTW. There's more coming from the north...

Also to prevent both counter-attacks to spawn at the first turn:

Tested Yelnya, too. For those interested, the fixed scen attached.
