Playing one of the Sinai Desert campaigns, an armored unit attacked a unit in a dune, got an overrun, advanced into the dune and now is stuck there, no way to move it out that I can see.
Doesn't seem correct - thoughts?
Thanks,

Can you disband it? Will it respawn again somewhere else? Which scenario? You might want to post a
bug report about your unit moving into a dune hex. It's not supposed to do that.

Playing Middle East 67.
I can disband it, according to manual equipment gets added to replacement pool, which is not what is wanted here.

I don't think there is anything you can do other than disband. Unless things have changed from TAOW III you cannot edit a scenario and have those edits apply to a saved game. You will need to disband if you want to continue the game or edit the scenario to fix the problem. Sorry.

80,114 and 81,116.
Now that I look at it, those spots are sand, not dunes. I think what happened is the units were on the road when they attacked and got the overrun. Now they are surrounded by dunes and trapped.
