Unit /Weapon types to get further clarification on

[Scud]

My brother and I are playing the first scenario on the list "Meeting Engagement." Really enjoying it. Strange, though, working again with the old Talonsoft style menu at the bottom. I'm missing some of the Matrix icons that I've now grown used to. Who'd of thunk. 

A few questions:

1. My field guns (central powers) don't show up in the artillery plot box. Are those guns only meant for direct fire?
   
2. I save the game with unit bases turned on, but next turn they're off again. I don't remember that happening back in the day. Is there a trick to getting them on as the default?
   
3. "Meeting Engagement", (not "Meeting Engagement at Brunstatt", but the first scenario listed when opening the game), isn't entered in the Blitz scenario database. Is it just meant as a learning scenario or is that an oversight?
   

Thanks for the mod, Mike!
