Just to echo the unpredictability, I have set up waypoints in scenarios for campaigns and at timers they work really well, doing almost exactly what I want the units to do. Then with other scenario's, it just doesn't want to work no matter how many times I redo them. I have wasted many design days trying to get it right on some when it just doesn't seem to do what I want. Maybe if I built a spreadsheet with Pyros' calculations based on unit speed, terrain, etc., I could change that, but for me, thats way too much work to invest in what I still consider a hobby. If I got that serious, burnout would surely follow. Thats exactly why I removed SPWAW from my HD years ago and have never reloaded it.
