I get this too. I thought it was caused by a 'ghost unit' (a very old TOAW-bug), opened the scenario in the editor/deployment and moved through every Allied unit.
TOAW froze at a specific British destroyer, I deleted all destroyers in the formation and added them again.
This normally fixes the problem, but unfortunately not in this case. I've never seen TOAW freeze just by clicking on the map so this seems to be something else, bugger...

Help.....

Ralph will need to do the voodoo on this to determine what's up.

Thought so, where do I send the scenario files?

Thanks

I got it fixed by undeploying/redeploying all units in a given formation about 3-4 times.
Now I've earned a Kentucky fried.

Question: Did you use the F4/F5 thing at any point in the design process?

No
I replaced all ship equipment with new ones, that's all.
The funny thing is that the unit(s?) wich caused trouble was using the standard destroyer equipment.
