World at War (Lock'n'Load) module issues and fixes

Noticed 4 issues with the module:

  1. The module is lacking a “hide units” button
    FIX: Under “Main Map [Map Window]”, add [Hide Pieces Button] (cut and paste from another module)

  2. The LOS are not calculated from center to center
    FIX: Under “Main Map [Map Window] - [Line of Sight Thread]”, properties, check both “force thread” checkboxes.

  3. 18th AVA Formation entry in the TOE: the TOE shows 2 activation markers, when there should be only one.
    FIX: The graphical file should be corrected.

  4. 1-32 Formation (BnB extension): The M60-A3 counters do not show up when you hover the mouse over a stack.
    FIX (to be confirmed): I added the “Prototype - Units” trait to the M60-A3 piece.

Have you contacted the module maintainer about these problems? His email
address is on the module page.

I also described the problem on consimworld.

Hi, I’m brand new to Vassal, you probably have already covered this, but in the WaW Eisenbach Gap module I noticed there was no Team Yankee in the forces. Is it hiding somewhere in plain sight?

One more question - how do you mark your unit you are attacking with so that when your opponent opens his logfile he knows which unit is attacking and defending?

Sorry for the newbie questions, but thanks!
