AA range defined where?

Post by Captain Cruft »

Try as I might, I cannot determine where the range of AA units is defined. It doesn't seem to be either in the editor data or the counters/data bitmaps. At least not obviously.

I'm probably not seeing the wood for the trees though ...

You can tell on the unit by looking at the number in the blue hexagon.

F5 key also reveals radius... yellow shade is unit, dark red is objective AAA.

AAA is a support unit. Edit support unit will bring up AAA capability (not actual radius).

[Edited for clarification]

Edit support does not show AA radius. There is "AA Fire" which defines either a -1 or -2 effect on air strikes, but nothing to do with range.

OK I've figured it out.

There is an additional screen of Country Data which I was missing. The AA range is defined globally there for all units of that country, along with a bunch of other interesting stuff ...

BTW, now my confusion is resolved I have to say ...

Despite not being the most intuitive piece of software I've ever encountered, the editor in this game is very very powerful. It's a complete wargame construction kit really, the only hard part is making the map and counter graphics.

Here's some more info to clarify setting radius:

Radius of AAA is set at the country level.  Here's a screen of how you set this:
