Nightfall: Mission Eight

[CaptComic]

I am totally not getting what to do in this scenario. The train won't move until turn 8. The game ends the scenario as a Paneuropean loss on turn 12 if the train has not left the map. The train moves no more than 1 hex per turn. The distance to move off the map is about 12 hexes, so the train won't leave the map until turn 20 or so.

What am I missing?

At the beginning of each turn the train can move, you can change the train's speed up or down by 1 increment. So you need to increase the train's speed to get it off the map.

You are missing the interface that allows you to increase the train's speed. Are you not getting the UI element with the +/- to change speed? It's not the most obvious thing (it shows up in the upper right corner).

Ah. The scenario left me with the impression that the train only moves at a speed of 0 or 1. Thanks!
