Hi !

I played the senario Hill 312 , russian side, and at the turn 7 I got an error message saying " Error : 122 mm FH bty can�t arrive at 99,121" . There is only 79 hexes so it obvious that it can�t enter hex 99,121. Is this an error in scenario code or just a onetimer ???
Don�t hit me now but I played SPWAW 5.01 at the time.

Hello

That unit seems to be an off-map arty unit so it is not supposed to enter the map. Perhaps there is some sort of 'trick' to get an off-map unit work as reinforcement...is that scenario included with 5.01 or did you download it from somewhere? It just might be that the scenario is made for a newer version of spwaw and simply does not work properly with 5.01.

They were probably set to be a reinforcement for that particular turn. Check your arty menu to see if they become available at some later turn.

Voriax -
It was included with 5.01 and as you say, it might be a trick to get it on-map as a reinforcement or there has been a miss to delete the "hexpointer".

Hm, checked that scenario...and yes, that error message appears in 8.01 also. However it does not matter as the unit will be available for bombardment. Oh and the scenario definitely does not work when played from Russian side, just as the intro text warned.

I played it from the right side and got message there too but as you said: it does not matter. The unit available anyway.

Redleg, author of this scenario, has fixed it, and sent me the revised version.
It will be included in next patch.

Hi

Another funny thing happend during this scenario( Hill 312, SPWAW ver 5.01).

I moved a truck to pick up a GE engineer unit, loaded the unit onto the truck using the load button when the truck was highlighted, then pressed the undo button.

Following then happend:

The truck returned to its starting point with the rifle unit loaded !!
How about that ???

That's one I never heard before! Though the few times I've used that button it was only to 'undo' a unit moving, not for any other action.

I've heard of that. It's a way to cheat against the AI.
