El Alamein spawning in mindfields

Post by ChrisAd »

Playing two different scenarios I got reinforcements (some tanks and infantry) spawning in the middle of the map and on the minefields.
I assume this is to the design, as some event trigger the spawning and the designer assumed the minefields will be cleared. But it's a bit silly.
Plus spawning in the middle of the map is begging the question: what the heck?!

Which scenarios please? So we can have a look.

Ruweisat Ridge.
The other one I cannot check as I have not saved the battle.

Ruweisat Ridge was on purpose, per the description, and not necessarily on the expectation that mines would have been cleared:

Designer Note: \This scenario has some non-standard (unusual) reinforcements in order to simulate the arrival of both 23rd Arm'd Bde and the anti-tank screen.

So yes, odd, but this implies to me it is on purpose.

Then it's a very strange design.
Units spawning in the middle if the map out of nowhere and into a minefield.

Not a fan of this, playing the Allies I smashed through the Italian defence, advanced carefully, captured the northern flag and was about to capture the southern when the best part of a Panzer Division appears behind my lines.
I wasnt aware that the HG Para Panzer Div was at Alamein!
