I have been working on my Home Before The Leaves Fall mod version 4, I have a big problem with the Guard script. I have Garrison units positioned to defend the Eastern Front border, I want them to stay where they are and not attack anything, but they ignore what I presume option 7 in the Guard script is instructing them to do? If anyone has the answer to this issue it would be much appreciated.

Are they being stolen by other scripts, e.g. OFFENSIVE ones?

Very good question Bill I will investigate the Offensive scripts must admit never thought of looking there cheers!

Update: Still looking for answer to Guard script issue, as a temporary fix I have made Garrison units Imobile?

You may already have tried this, but when they do leave the Guard positions, you can press the tilde key on your keyboard to see what plan (if any) an AI controlled unit is following. Hopefully it will disclose the answer.

Hi Bill,
I just discovered how to fix the Guard script so that it works as I want it to. I just needed to add a Garrison unit in Berlin.

; Unit in Berlin
#ACTIVATE_POSITION= 173,74 [0,0] [1,1] [1]

Well done!
