Serious question regarding picking map sides!

[Marek_Tucan]

You can bypass it with a series of comparative tests and then use other countries for setup, switching to "Allied" units in the purchase. Done this more than once...
Example: I wanted to make (in WWII) battle with Czechoslovakia vs. Germany. As default, Czechoslovakia started on the right side while I wanted it to be on left to reflect historical reality on that map so I set the battle up as France vs. Germany and then switched in purchase phase. Worked well except victory points which are belonging to the ersatz nation but as long as you know which are yours...

If it's a true SCENARIO and not a generated battle setting the sides is done in the intial stages.

In this case, after loading the sceanrio editor....

Set both nations

press the SWAP button on the lower left

Select map 226

Buy the units for both sides and deploy


The USSR will be on the left and the USA will be on the right where the water is
