There exits a problem with the 32nd unit in any formation that is not generally known.
When the particular unit is the 32nd unit, the deployment editor cannot display that unit permitting the designer the opportunity to change the deployment details.
Some solutions exist for this.
Using the force editor, make sure no formation has 32 units.
Or
Using the force editor, move the 32nd unit to a smaller formation, make the deployment changes. You may or may not return it to the original formation.
This demo has a single formation, 32 units, for each force.
The Force 1, 32nd Cadre unit is currently scheduled for deployment on turn 1. Attempt to change the deployment to turn 2, without removing any unit for the formation.
The Force 2, 32nd Cadre unit is currently scheduled for deployment with event 500. Attempt to change the deployment to turn 2, without removing any unit for the formation.
Scenario designers do need to be aware of this problem. Some deploy units on the map to insure the correct location is in the deployment editor. Then use the deployment editor to enter the correct event or turn. But with 32 units in the formation, the 32nd units WILL NOT appear in the deployment editor permitting the desired changes.
