This human has set up on the right..

All my editing work is on the left..

Is this senerio going to crash and burn when he fires it up?
Where does it say that? - since it is not true.

What does mess things up, is if a scenario designer does not confirm to the 2 sides the game sets up as baselines - since retreat will go towards the player baseline side, and off-map arty comes in from the player's baseline side. Or he tries a "Top to Bottom" or vice versa scenario. SP games are played from right <--> left.

And there is a hot key available - or a button on the scenario editor main page - to swap round the default sides, if so required. Do that at the start of the scenario design of course!.

Also - the default is for the side designed for the human to be player 1, i.e. he moves first. Player 2 is the default AI side, in almost all cases. (Unless the human player specifically chooses the non-default side for the scenario, of course).
