This should be in the TOAW forum, where the right people will see it. To answer your question, the airfield is in the Terrain Pallette; just click the down arrow once, and it'll appear.

Well, you can mix shallow water and rivers. See below, the bridge is destroyable.

When I try to deploy the forces after I set up the ORBATs, I receive an error message that says "Can't Deploy / The order of battle is not fully defined". Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong and how I might fix this problem?

Thank you!

You probably have units that have no assigned to a formation, like illustrated here below. Assign them to a formation and you should be all right.

Thank you for your suggestion about assigning formations Nemo69! Unfortunately that does not solve my problem since all of my ORBATs are assigned to formations.

Hi Nemo69!

Do you know how I can post a picture of my ORBATs on this forum so you may be able to diagnose my problem?

Thank you!

Then I think you are missing something.

Just for all you folks, it is also necessary that both sides (force 1 and force 2) have been assigned formations before deployment can begin. If one unit on either side has not been assigned to a formation, then you will not be able to proceed with deployment.

And of course both forces must have at least one unit.

Click the "Print Screen" key. Select "Paste" from your favorite graphics program. Decrease the picture size so it only shows the relevant area. Save.

That'd show part of it, of course. If you wanted to upload the whole thing, use the Save OOB As option from the file menu while the force editor is open.

Well, only gif, jpg, and txt files are supported. A scenario dump might be the better option. I think that has OOB data too.
