Deleting equipment from unit/placing units

[deltapooh41]

I am trying to edit a scenario called Saddam's Final Gamble. I don't quite understand how to add a new unit. So I just copy an existing unit and edit the name and icon. I can add new unit. However, I can't delete the existing equipment. The only online help I've found suggest just changing them to zero But that sounds messy and lowers the health. So I was wondering if there is a way to delete equipment from a unit.

I also don't know how to place and move units around in the editor. Do I have to highlight a hex or something?

It has been at least 12 years since I played this game, and recall being able to edit scenarios. Now that knowledge has to be rebuilt.

I'm grateful for any help.

You need to find that equipment item in the equipment list, click it there and then enter zero. That'll remove the whole line.

There are a number of actions which are activated by a right click. First one is "place unit" (provided the currently selected unit is not already deployed) second one is "remove unit" (which will select the unit which was removed).

So, if you want to move a unit, cycle to the "remove unit" action, then right click the offending unit (you can left click to cycle through units in a hex first). Then find the hex you want and right click it.

To place a new unit, find it in the OOB, select it, then you can place by right clicking.

A million thanks Golden delicious and Curtis LeMay. You provided a better explanation than what I've come across thus far.
