Can't change arty range

So I'm working on a new East Front equipment database. Things were going great until I tried to tweak some of the artillery ranges.

One unit had a range of 9 in the eqp file, and showed a hex range of 5. When I changed the eqp file to a range of 7, in the game it shows a range of 1, and whatever I try to change it to, it goes back to 1.

Pulling my hair out here, anybody know what the problem here could be??

Doh, figured it out...when I created a new scenario for the new eqp file the hex scale changed from 2.5 km to 20 km...

Isn’t the scenario hex range a function of the scenario map scale and the artillery database range? Sounds like the range of 5 hexes was for a 2.5k/hex scenario. What is the scale for the scenario you’re using as a test?

Yes, that's what I explained in my previous post...the scenario I've been testing with has a scale of 2.5 km/hex, and the new scenario's default was 20 km/hex.

Not doing too bad, but not as much as when I started!
