In what preference panel is the checkbox for "Mark Moved Units" located!? I have gone through them all a zillion times, but I can't find it… 😖

It has disappeared due to VASSAL changes. We are working with the VASSAL folks to bring it back. That should happen when VASSAL3.7.0 is officially released.

Aaah, that explains a lot. Thanks for the info!
There is a workaround: Download an old version and change the setting from there...

Or (under Windows) open AppData\Roaming\VASSAL\prefs\VASL in a text editor and change the line "markMoved=true" (or false, if you don't want them marked). In my prefs, it's line 81, between "initialHeap" and "matchAdvanced". I'm not sure where the prefs files are placed under other OSes.

On macOS it seems to ~/Library/Application Support/VASSAL/prefs/VASL

However, my setting seems to already be off:
markMoved=false

WTF? 🤪
