Map Information Buttons - Missing or Don't work

The Victory point locations button doesn't seem to work. Nothing displays or I can't see it. I tried the shift-v key too with no joy.

Also the build unit button for the Soviet to build unit's is missing from my display bar. But shift-b works.

FYI

View Victory Point Locations (Shift-V): Displays flag symbols at victory point locations for
non-campaign scenarios. Red flags indicate Soviet VP locations, black flags indicate Axis VP
locations, and red and black flags indicate a VP location for both sides.


Non campaign scenarios only

Also the build unit button for the Soviet to build unit's is missing from my display bar. But shift-b works.

FYI

Build Combat or Headquarters Unit (hotkey Shift-B): Used to create new Soviet units
(18.1.2). Note that this button will only display for the Soviet player when a light/heavy urban
or adjacent hex is selected on the map. Selection of this button will bring up the ‘Pick Unit
Type’ window (5.4.31).


You would have to select a Moscow hex or the next hex to work, Stalingrad also works

My bad ... the build button does appear ... But it is strange that victory point hexes are not displayed for the campaign scenarios. Then there is no reason to take Baku??

Exactly. In the campaign the reason to take places is built into the game, but they are not victory objectives per se. For the Victory Conditions, all cities and urban hexes count for victory purposes.
