Hello fellow WitW addicts,

i play around with the editor and stumbled across a question concering EF Box editing:

Is it just for immersion reasons that there are different theatres there (Balkans, Finnland)?

Can I move all units into the East Front or does it break the EF Box function?
Ingame the theatres can not be seen anyway.

It would be easier to edit a unified eastern front and not having to scroll up and down all the time.

It might sound a bit complicated, i hope it is clear what i mean.

I organized the unit list early in the development cycle that way because I thought there was going to be several different theater boxes. In the end, the designers decided to lump them all into a single east front box. You can move the units around however you like. The delay setting is what signifies that the unit is in the east front box.

Awesome answer speed record - thx Trey! :)

My goal is to try the support units can not be moved east problem, by sending all reinforcment su first to the EF.
So I gain more player choice, which su I would like to use west and avoid accumulating su I dont like - they are better off fighting eastwards.
