Design bug in Sino-Japanese War 1937-1945?

Greetings,
Currently in PBEM play of said scenario and my co-player noticed that the density penalty warning is on even for a single unit. Turns out the scenario briefing states it runs at 20 km per hex while the actual scale is 10 km per hex, hence the density warning.
Don't know if the designer (Sam Mudd, who went by the CyberGeneral handle long moons ago) is still reachable but the glitch could be corrected in a next update.
All best,
Marc

There is an option to turn on the density penalty even if a single unit is in the hex and triggers the penalty. That has always made sense to me because a single unit can contain enough equipment to cause this. But sounds like you guys need to have it turned off since the scale is mixed. You can also scale the density penalty in the scenario editor.

Turn OFF the New Density Rules in the Game Options. The scenario was not designed for that rule.

Thanks for the reminder/tip. There are quite a few TOAW III scenarios which need this change when converted to TOAW IV.

Will try that; thanks for the pro-tip.
