Sorry but I cannot figure out how to remove a unit after it has been placed during the Pre-Game Setup Segment. Selecting the unit and clicking "Remove Unit" does not work. Thanks in advance.

Click on the unit placed in the Control Window to the bottom right, Units placed on map will be i bold text. Then click on remove unit button.

Thank you very much, Paullus.

I cannot get this to work in any way, shape or form. Do some scenarios not allow placement but leave the button active?

I must be an idiot. I tried almost every scenario in the game and cannot remove any unit in the pre-game setup phase. I even tried scenarios where ALL units have to be placed at the start. Once I place a unit I cannot remove it or move it somewhere else. Needless to say this makes setting up a very time consuming and nerve wracking experience atm.

Here's what I'm doing:
1. Select the hex on the map
2. Go to the bottom left text window
3. Select a unit
4. Click "Remove Unit".

Do not work.

Units that are placed on the map in the scenario editor cannot to be removed from the map in the game. Only units that are not placed in the scenario editor can actually be placed on the map in the game...assuming the units were designated to appear for the user in the current turn.

2. Go to the bottom RIGHT window
3. Select a unit
4. Click "Remove Unit".

This should work with any unit you are allowed to place. Units pre-designated a spot, will remain there. Hope this helps.

Hi all,sorry my question here is the opposite,im having a nightmare here,i can not figure out at all how to move units in pre-set up mode?I highlight them in bottom left window and theres no option after that.Can someone please tell me what im missing here and what i need to do to be able to move some units before the scenario starts.They could have made this game a bit more Gamer friendly or maybe im getting too old for this [8|]

Hi IckieStickie, if you can move a unit in the Pre-Setup Segment is down to the sceanrio designer. If he places them on map you cannot move them around. They are fixed in their setup hex. If he uses Setup Zones there will be units in the bottom right window that you can place in those highlighted setup hexes. These can be moved from a hex and placed in a new one according to directions above. This is covered in the manual section 8.1.12. Some scenarios have fixed units, they can be moved during the scenario and some scenarios let you place your units.

Most likely you are trying to move units that are fixed in its place by the scenario designer.

IckieStickie, when you see those units at the bottom right window during the pre-game click a unit to highlight then drag to map location.
Be advised that you can't relocate a unit once placed on the map except by starting the unit placement all over again so select placement carefully.[:)]

IckieStickie, one more thing the Remove Unit selection at the bottom right only works while designing a new scenario; it will not work during play.[:D]
