E-Key: Entrench All Units Undo?

[shahadi]

Today, while building a scenario, I inadvertently pressed the E key. Now, I have ALL units entrenched and I do not know how to undo this mess!

Move any to new positions (or load on APC etc) and press E again.

As it is a defence - then everything on the defence is going to be entrenched anyway, bar passengers, those in e.g. swamps etc. The attackers get some entrenched, some not.

Assault games are always like that in SP. There is no partial entrenching as the game does the equivalent of an E keypress on initialising an assault game even if a scenario designer 'forgot' to entrench them.

There are 'dodges' in scenario design whereby the designer may fiddle about with game modes in mid design, but those are not really 'supported'.

If you are trying one of these dodgy scenario designs, then remember to save and save often in case you make a mess of it - but that is standard for any scenario design.

Guessing previous save is your only option.
Auto saves to 999 if you don't back up regularly.
You could try this to maintain positions but not sure it would work & would expect any waypoints set to be lost.

Save the map
Run remove damage from map
Save & load it back in to the scenario.

Okay Andy has a work round, wanted to post about save before you messed about & it got overwritten

What if you hit the E-key after deploying your units in a campaign delay scenario or generated delay battle ? Will your guys entrench? Tried it for a WW2 delay scenario (Ts4EVER's 29th Infantry campaign) and they wouldn't entrench. Was I missing something or what? Thanks.

Not as far as I know.
Mind you have never understood why the key is there as only time you can entrench is if defending & that's done automatically.
