I've discovered an interesting bug in Desert Fox that gives the DAK a theoretically unlimitted movement potential. (That is, assuming they don't get killed while moving! ;)). Once you have moved your forces as much as you can, use the auto-save and return to the campaign menu. Reload the saved game, and your units can now move again as though they hadn't moved at all. As far as I can tell, this can be repeated indefinitely, or until you get tired of it. Warning: This bug doesn't affect how much ammo your units have, so if you fire all your shots before getting where you want to go, your unit will still be out of ammo until the next turn. (My appologies to anyone who has discovered this bug already.)

Perhaps this behavior is meant to simulate the added range possible when being repeatedly ordered by Rommel to advance, advance, advance! ;)

This bug had been identified in the past, they're looking to try and fix it soon, possibly with the release of the next MegaCampaign. For now only do save at the completed end of a turn to avoid getting extra movement points to stay true to the original design of the MegaCampaign.
