Won't show Rail??

Post by GORTwillSAVEus »

Anyone else experiencing this:

I'm using v.1.05.53 and playign Road to Leningrad.

When I try to "Show Rail",..the button does nothing.

Just got the game, and updated to the latest version.
This is my 3rd game (albeit, still tryign to understand everything).
I could have sworn I saw it working.

Make sure you don't have a unit selected.  Click on a vacant hex, then hit the show rail button.

One of the MOST annoying display features of the game. That and not being able to highlight the area where First Winter rules are in effect.

Thanks Seminole,...last night I played briefly, pressed Show Rail, and "poof" it showed the rail symbols on the map.
You'd think I would have 2 and 2 together at that point, but then 5 minutes later, I pressed it again (while I had the construction tile selected) and no rail shown again.
Still didn't get it, until your message.

This is NOT a game where you can just skip the printed manual.

I did notice one good thing though,..if I have the construction unit selected and I click "show rail",..all broken rail that I control is highlighted orange-brown, while good rail is not highlighted at all.
Did I mention that I played two turns before I realized that I could have used the Finns. Wasn't sure when they became active, other than I saw the Finns were flying bombing runs.
They have been locked the first few turns. ---sigh--- time to read the manual again.

I make it a habit to read the event log before starting my turn.  It will let you know what reinforcements have arrived, what units have been unfrozen, and what units are isolated from supply.
