HIDDIN

Post by BOSTON »

Hiddin; What exactly is it? There is a U reg. (Gila bde.)hiddin in the Rodes scenario, which cannot find on the map or when scrolling through the arrow keys. What's with that? Although the reg. is listed in the OOB.

Units can be hidden for variants or other reasons. You can hide them at the start, and then show them if you want them to show up for variants etc.

I looked through the script on GB04 and I don't see this unit hidden. Robert E. Lee, Stannard and Pleasonton are the only units hidden.

Sorry it was in GB05, Maybe it was a variant design thing.

Question?; Would a player (CO) bring a unit from Hiddin status into Play? Note; the first I saw that issue was in the Brigade tutorial Cutler's 7th Wisconsin (I think), was hiddin. I did not know then or now how to bring that unit into play. Again when I keyed through the chain of command it would not show, however, it would be shown in the OOB. I found this issue perplexing. :huh:

In the brigade tutorial, I was working on a very alternate history of day 1. At that time, the 7th Indiana was detached from and far distant from the rest of Cutler's brigade. It was hidden because it was never available at any time.
