I had this happen to me yesterday in a game...

The scenario was an Allied assault with a German defense. Computer was the Allies, human was the Germans. When I got to the unit selection screens there were so many units listed in the "Misc" section that I couldn't purchase any mines, they were scrolled off the bottom of the screen!

Anyone else have this problem?

This was version 7.0

When you buy german mines, change year eg. 1940 so mines are not out of screen. After that change year back to original.

I had this problem too ... I didn't understand the solution you suggest ... how to do it?

Hi Bernie and Taglia.
Taglia, I'll reply in english of course.
what Insert means is that in some cases(period of the war and/or nation involved) the misc units list is so long that mines' buy button, which is always at the bottom of the list does not appear on the screen.
A workaround can be to change the year to a period when it is known that there are less items available, so that ALSO the mines button appears on the screen.
But more simply, during the buying phase, do this:
1)click the "nation" button;
2)change to a nation with less items available to buy (normally Norway fits for this in any period of the war);
3)go in the misc page and buy yr mines;
4)click again the "nation" button and switch back to the original nation you are supposed to play with.

Now you can go on normally with the buying phase.

Thanks ... now it's all clear

Thanks to everyone who replied. The idea of changing years and/or countries never occured to me and I'll use it as a workaround from now on. However, I wonder if it's something that can be fixed for a future patch? Maybe move some of the items to a different list? Seems I recall some recon units there, along with a couple other items that could be put either under infantry or armor.
