Can one exit maps?

The old days with Cm1 maps allowed it.....how about CMBN. Can one set up exit zones.

I did note you can indicate friendly edges but you cannot leave that map edge can you?

[Crushingleeek]

yes you can. if you are designing, go to mission, terrain objectives, paint an area, on the panel on the left side of screen, click on the drop down that currently says "occupy" and select "exit."

oh nice!

Thanks sir.

And when you play such scenario you move a unit to exit zone and soon it disappears. I think in CMx1 you could plot movement out of the map?

All praise to scenario designers who allow troops to depart the board. Little is more ridiculous than broken troops fleeing a barrage bouncing off the map edge to run back into the shells they are fleeing.

Also having lorries/trucks parked up waiting to be shot rather than driving them away from danger also seems bizarrely unreal.

It's one reason for inflated "winner" scores: even if you've swept the opposition out of the VLs, often at least one VL is close to the baseline for the enemy, and your pTruppen in that side of the location will massacre troops which should have departed.
