1. The Italian air command that arrives early cannot be reattached from Expeditionary Italian Corps. Not sure if this is WAD or not.
2. The 'Alt VC 260' scenario actually requires 290 just like the default one. Didn't notice this until I had 261 and it didn't end...typo or oversight I suppose.
3. A long-standing niggle is the way axis withdrawals are handled, that division of exactly that number, no argumeents. I can see this for mobile divisions, but they're relatively easy to find being few in number. Not so footsloggers. More than once withdrawals very inconveniently opened holes in the line. Unrealistic not to say absurd.

Can we please do something about this at least for infantry witdrawals, and let the player select? I know the idea has been kicking around for ages--what I don't understand is why this sensible change hasn't been made.

Alternatively a 'highlight withdrawing' button as a minimum option so you can do something about it.

Believe "withdrawals" and certain other changes are signaled in advance; look at info screens and choose event log. Notices are given in reasonable time to allow preparation.

A highlight button would be nice, too.

It's possible to highlight withdrawing units by clicking one of the buttons.

At this point in time nothing can be done. This would require reworking of interfaces, scenarios, and some core data concepts.

Sorry Morvael I don't see it--how exactly?

Would it be possible to add 'at location x,y' to the unit withdrawing messages? That would help...

Update: Shift-R does it, but then you all knew that anyway, right? Withdrawing units are outlined in red.

D'oh!
