The Region editor

I've been experimenting with the scenario editor and have crafted my first map. I think I've got a handle on most of the elements involved in scenario creation. However, the region editor is pretty vague. I could do with a help out with this one as it seems to be central to good design.

So, creating set-up zones: North of, East of, South of, West of?
How does this work? North (etc) of what?

Also, if I 'buy' and place a unit in the editor, I don't appear to have the option to delete it if I don't want it anymore. How do I delete units purchased in this way?

And finally, the Russian BA10 Armoured car seems a bit too well protected. Front Hard 15 (!) when the Pak36 has a hard attack value of 5?! I take it these are the values assigned to it in the board game.

these are hex numbers in x,y co-ords, say 4,16 etc
So if you want to place units say only South of a line, choose a hex number in the line and fill in the South of hex, you can leave the rest blank. You can chose a corner and say South of x,y and say West of x,y.
While looking at your map, write down the co-ords you'll need and enter them when you're in the editor.
Hovering your mouse over a hex will tell you the hex number.

That makes sense. Thanks. I'll play around with it a bit more and see what I can do with it.
