Thank You for this confirmation, and especially for leaving it in the game! I can't really see where it would be a bad thing to have kept in the game. It became a topic for a new terrain hex when it was discovered and made a Scenario possible that was a lot of fun iterating into something playable. Maybe it has enough merit to be made official someday.

I'll be iterating QUAGMIRE and republishing a final version soon Thanks to this news. I planned keeping it pulled because I didn't know what would come of this "bug" and the uncertainty it caused.

So, to confirm, the answer is no fix until more funding?

If so, and it will persist unfixed, please put a note somewhere letting people who are about to export maps know the hex lines lack the integrity they should have when printing a map.

Are Command Posts in the Scenario Creator not to be done until more funding is available? Just that "small" addition would really open up so many new Scenario possibilities.

Ok. Thanks for clarifying.

So, there is hope then... :)

Awesome.

You're welcome, and Thank You for keeping those tread units rolling!

Thank You for all the effort continuing to go into the game. You have restored my enthusiasm.
You have a real gem here that just needs some polish and more funding to take it where we all know it can go.
