Elsenborn Ridge: Units fortified w/o Fort terrain
Posted: Wed Jul 07, 2010 6:02 am
In the Elsenborn Ridge scenario, the Allied 1 BN, 394th (in and around Losheimergraben) starts out with a Deployment of "Fortified". The problem is that there is no Fort terrain to support this deployment.
From the Game Manual: "Units can only become Fortified if they are on Fort terrain – they cannot build a new fort during the game."
I guess it's possible the scenario designer intended this, but I submit that it is an error and the 1.394 HQ and sub-units should be changed to "Entrenched" (be careful to fix IR.394 to the south).
Perhaps it would be a good idea to modify the scenario editor to enforce the terrain rule for "Fortified" also.
Needless to say, as it stands these units put up a hell of a fight!
