1) I would like to be able to go to the home screen after exiting the scenario. Currently, I have to restart. Maybe have the scenario open up in a new window after hitting the "start" button.

2) Modifying the landscape movement cost AP table doesn't seem to work. I tried to modify the artillery movement cost and it's still 25 APs per plain hex. I hover over the terrain in the top middle of the screen and it gives me the correct AP cost (50) but in reality I can still move artillery 4 hexes (25 AP's per hex). Also, would it be possible to modify HEAVY artillery movement costs only?

Hi there,

1. After quiting a running game you go to the main menu and you'll have to load your scenario again. No way around that.

2. Did you also modify the road AP cost for artillery? Or maybe the artillery is using trucks/halftracks in the same unit for motorized transport?

Best wishes,
Vic

I figured out the problem - this unit is classified as foot and not artillery. Is this correct? What makes this a foot unit?

The troop types are: Infantry Gun, Artillery and Heavy Artillery

Right. In fact the master rules are set up such that all artillery is presumed to be horse drawn and has been set to 'Foot' movement type.

Hence you changing the 'Artillery' movement costs has no effect.

So to state it bluntely.. with the current ComProj version you cannot distinguish movement costs between artillery and infantry.

I'll make a note for the next version of ComProj if I can change this. I think so.

Best wishes,
Vic

Ok, thanks. Changing the movement cost for heavy artillery (only) would be the best solution if possible. Otherwise an infantry unit that has mortars and regular artillery would be affected.
