Need help with Off Map Artillery problem

[Dan Caviness]

Hello Gents:

Any of you designers out there tried to place a battleship off shore as support artillery?


I'm trying to place some ships off map for my new Rising Sun scenario "Red Sun Over San Francisco".

What I'd like to do, but apparently am incapable of, is reduce the Battleships strength, and then place it off map.  The OOB supplies you with 12 strength units for Battleships, and I'd like to make that 1 or 2.

I tried (in Scenario Editor) to place the ship on map, reduce it, return it to the OOB, and then assign it as offshore artillery but the ship comes back at full strength.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.


Regards,

Old Man Dan
