Unit Stuck after Overrun

Post by hltanzman »

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.

See my reply in Tech.

If duct tape doesn't fix it then you are not using enough duct tape.

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.
