Barbarossa Fast Start- Unit already moved?

Post by FJeff »

Why are several units marked as "Done Movement" at the beginning of the fast start setup? If it's the beginning of turn shouldn't they be free to move?
And it's one, two, three,
What are we fightin' for?

Are they on the other side? Is it a land unit and the phase of the game is an air mission?

That status doesn't always indicate that the unit just completed movement. Yes, it should mean just that. But it doesn't.

If you previously played Barbarossa and accidentally saved over the FastStart.GAM file then a "new" Faststart game will have those previous moves saved into the new game. I believe the latest patch provides backup copies of the Faststart games

Brilliant! I never even considered that possibility.
