Status: offline 		I checked the manual and I don't understand how to move units to an alternate setup hex. For example in 'Tigers on their own'
I see the blue German setup hexes but I even if I click the name of a German unit I cant move/drag/right click/shift click it to
another hex. What am I missing?

Status: offline 		But why would alternate hexes be highlighted in blue if they weren't "allowed"? This is in "Tigers on their own" not an edited scenario.

If you place the units by your own you can delete them from the map and replace them in another eligible hex. The scenario designer (me in all stock scenarios) decides if you should be able to do this or not. You can always open the scenario in the editor and change them to your own liking.

Ah OK. I wasn't aware there were friendly AI controlled units in that scenario. Thanks for that.
