...Also found out, but do not understand, why when you place just one object you have to set a second waypoint...

I'm glad that the links helped.

The game requires that all moving surface objects, (vehicles/trains/ships/columns/armor) have at least two waypoints. (You can only set two waypoints for trains). If at least one other waypoint isn't set you get a "Chief Waypoint Error" message. (All moving ground objects are called "Chief" and their paths are called Chief Waypoints, don't ask me why although the "Chief Waypoint" does kind of explain itself). The message tells you which "Chief" it is however it is in code. You can find that "Chief" by opening the .mis file with Notepad or any simple text editor. The only exception is aircraft. You can place only one waypoint for them and, if at altitude, they will circle that waypoint. (Useful for setting an atillery spotter.)

But to answer your question....that's the way it is.

As my Mission Builder Mentor Zeus-cat once told me, "think like Oleg." Apparently this is one of the ways he thinks. :wink:
