Pacific War - unable to deploy bases

Setting up Pacific War having just purchased game. However I cannot deploy any bases onto the map for either side. Bases in display cannot be selected as can all other units. Have I missed something? Using latest Vasal and Module version

Same issue as in this recent thread. The designer has used the Does Not Stack trait and its non-selectable config option. You have to hold down the Shift key on your keyboard to select the piece to be able to move/manipulate it.

Great thank you! Shame not documented as I spent hours fiddling with it.

Yes, it’s unfortunate that so many designers resort to this but don’t tell their users.

If they are just trying to get around the issue of a piece type undesirably stacking with different types (e.g., a base that’s meant to be immobile stacking with units that do move) such that players end up unintentionally moving them when grabbing a stack, a far superior solution is to employ Game Piece Layers so things like bases both draw below movable units and do not stack with them.
