@7A - was able to reproduce your situation on Grave. Started a thread about it on the main LSA forum. Your Grave issue is closely related to my Best deploy issue above- the difference being that I attacked onto the map using a split, north/south entry VL.

Starting to grasp how the various permutations of deploy may work. Cancel my "riverbank" bug report above. Im thinking its an undocumented feature. Some of my teams were considered to have entered Best using the Son North entry VL, and some the Son South VL. Since the bridge was blown, those teams considered to have used the Son South entry werent allowed to deploy north of the river. Those teams considered to have used the Son North entry were allowed to reposition south of the river because being on the south side of any river/canal is not an advantage for the Allied player.

Anyone seen this?

Second turn in a row that none of the BG's at Son can't move to Best, have full control of the map and last turn KG Rink managed to attack from Best. (This problem only applies to Son, all other BG's with connections can move to Best)

GC (Beta) against the AI, can post a save-file if necessary. (Hey I'm learning [X(])

While the bridge at Son is under repair you won't be able to move to Son Heath from Son. Once the icon returns to it's normal state (no wrench -- or spanner depending on where you're from [:D]) then you'll be able to make the move you're describing... if I'm understanding you accurately.

I found a little visual bug. Not really important, but odd.

Playing on the Grave map (beta patch; 1024x768, 16bppp, 60Hz; windows XP) parts of the bridge protrude through the soldier information panel (f7). Here's a cropped image showing one place. There are other areas on the bridge that have the same problem.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but the craters caused by mortars are not changing the terrain to "shellhole"

For example, was playing Grossbeek and mortared a german team in the field, the craters were visually there on the map the next battle, but when checking the terrain/elevation it is still reading as field

St. Odenrode...bridge blown

The editor shows a Weurt<->Oosterhout connection that doesnt exist.

Looking at the yellow borders both Eindhoven and Son Heath is a valid option for 506th PIR, but as you can see they (or the Guards BG) can't move to Best; -That's my problem!
Shouldn't 506th PIR be able to improvise a river crossing and move from 'to Best North' AND 'to Best South', and both BG's should be able to attack from 'to Best South'? As it is now Best is a 'no-go-zone' for the BG's in Son, while KG Rink may attack freely... [8|]

*EDIT* Funny thing: -When the bridge is repaired the following turn, Best becomes a viable move-option... Am I missing something or is it a bug?

IIRC, xe5 already reported this bug earlier. Error in the elements file...Field element Rubble To value should be 10 (shellhole).

We'd found that one after release and it's been fixed and will be part of update 2. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks. That connection got removed late in development and just never got removed from the SE graphic. Thanks for pointing it out.

That's a new one. Worked fine during testing. Will try to replicate it.

I'm not certain but I think it's operating correctly. The fact that there is an enemy BG on Best I think is the reason you can't move there with the bridge on Son destroyed or repairing. There is no "assault crossing" option available there. I'll have to clarify the rules Steve set up as I could see it designed either way and making sense. Did you try "attacking" into Best rather than "move?"

There are two exit VLs from Son to Best, one on each side of the river ('to Best North' and 'to Best South'). So the fact that the Son bridge is blown shouldnt restrict moving to Best. If you contrl Son your BG would be able to use one of those VLs.

Tried it out, no difference between 'Move' or 'Attack' movements.
In addition I tried the Irish Guards BG as well, and as you can see they are free to move north of the canal even if the bridge is blown (don't think they are ready to leave all their tanks behind, just to cross the canal [8|])

Thanks for pointing that out. I thought the dual connections was restricted to use along the Maas-Waal canal. Makes since that it would be used here since the Zuid Williams ran through here (right? going from memory - frightful!).

I'll point it out to Steve. Thanks!

Im suspecting there is a bug with the 'dual' entry/exit VLs on maps where the bridge is blown. Ive had a problem similar to 7A's except that it involved trying to move a BG from Best to Son (see first panel below)...

Strat movement arrows sometimes disappear after setting them with a move/attack order, issuing strat orders on other portions of strat map, then scrolling back.

Vehicles are being tracked in Soldier details and post-battle stats as armor.

Single battle playing as Axis vs AI.  Axis routed due to morale failure and Allies capture the map...but Battle Debrief pic shows all VLs as Axis controlled.
