Map help, please!

[Grumbler]

No joy! I actually read the manual and it didn't help a bit. That ain't right!
The Manual says go to the deploy menu and use the ~ key to switch sides, then return to the editor and save. I did that and the Brits STILL defend on the right, and I need them on the left. I then tried making the French the 2nd player and that made no difference. I have one last thing to do, whih is to set up a scenario and then exit back to the editor, save the map and try it from there. Logically, that shouldn't make any difference, but I'm starting to think logic doesn't have much to do with it. I have games backing up, so I'm about to cross this off as a bad job.
