Coastal Defense support unit, how to place?

Post by Journier »

As germany in 1943, wanted to place a few coastal defense works, however the game doesn't allow me to select where to place them, states no such area to be placed or something along those lines?

how do you place these things? I understand they cant go in a city or industrial zone if already there on a coast... what else are the requirements.

Thanks

From what I can tell there are only a couple spots to put them the port on the coast of france to the left of Paris and up to the port that is propably dunkirk has a couple spots you dont put them on the beach but next to it.
Favoritism is alive and well here.

coastal fortifications can be placed on a non-beach hex that is next to a beach hex.... because it is a coastal fortification

the eligible hexes light up green when you select the coastal defense item from the deployment queue. There are 20+ eligible coastal hexes in France alone.
