Confused

First let me beg forgiveness if I'm missing something simple here. I'm currently playing the Boy's Against Men scenario of MG as the Germans. Well here's the thing: I can not establish a comm link from the 4th platoon HQ, either to it's squads or up the chain to 2nd Ko. Distance has no effect as I have put the platoon HQ on top of the squads and put 2nd Ko on top of 4 platoon.

As this the start of the scenario no casualties have yet been taken. Just wondering if this is accidental or purposeful.

I haven't played that one yet, but in the 3rd mission of the German campaign, where you've got KM trying to breach the paras LZ perimeter, there's a 4th rifle platoon that isn't part of the company TO. When you double-click the Coy HQ, the 4th platoon doesn't highlight. I think it's a bit of a fudge in the editor to give the KM company enough bodies to have a vanishing chance against the snake-eaters they're trying to shift. Perhaps something similar has happened in the Boys Against Men scenario?

Occasionally when a unit is casualty reduced in the editor the game kills off the leader. Does the platoon in question have anyone labeled as the commander or leader or are they all just soldiers or radiomen?

[The Hound]

Ah, yes that HQ does not have a commander, just a lone rifleman. I don't recall seeing this situation at the start of a scenario.

Thanks much for the responses guys. This site is populated with a great bunch of guys.
