I know this is probably due to the map dividing the USA but it is annoying and not realistic that you can't operate units to the opposite side of the USA. Can this be rectified? Would be good if possible.

It could be fixed with a few loop.txt hexes - they work land-to-land hexes. That's a developer decision, unless you want to mod the campaign yourself.

Thanks for reply and imput, but I am not that it savvy. It is for everyone's benefit to have it available so should be done for the game if possible.

Confused, I see 10 loop hexes in the eastern US, 6 in the Western, and 1 each in Canada. Unless you mean using the Operational command, which would be a dev question.

@Elessar Absolutely correct! I obviously don't play WaW enough. They are marked on the map with a red outline and text to say to which east coast destination they go.

I am not talking about the marked hexes to the other side. I am talking moving by operating (Train) as per normal operating units within Europe or China/Japan. It takes an extra turn if you want to go from New York to La. Operate unit in New York to one of the marked hexes. Next turn operate from that position on other side to LA . Should be able to do as one movement/operate and not spend double the mmps.

Oh, I see what you mean. I would just move them normally to the hexes and then there will not be any cost involved. There will be a time cost, though. Otherwise, I think operational land movement requires a contiguous land connection between 2 points.

I totally agree with Harry's point.

Germany can operate a unit from Brest to Vladivostok in 1 turn after Russia falls. But the USA takes 2 turns to get a unit from NY to LA. I presume the same applies in Canada?

Not a game breaker but an irritation for the Allies.
