I just posted this over in the Battlefront Forum and thought I should post it here also...
I am creating a scenario with both Terrain and Unit Objectives.
This is the first time creating a scenario with Unit Objectives.
For that matter, I never even played a scenario with Unit objectives before.
I have some questions that I need help with.
In the Scenario Editor - Units I assigned as a Unit Objective 3 German Units:
U1 - Tank
U2 - Gun
U3 – 1 Wire plus 1 Mines, or what I call the Road Block
In the Mission Editor I assigned a name and point value to each U-Ob’s.
I then went to deploy the German units.
According to the manual “When Deploying Units in the 3D Preview” I should see a U in the Suppression Area of the team info panel followed by the number of the objective.
I don’t see a U1, U2, U3 in any of the Suppression areas all I see is an A:1 the same as all the other units.
I ran a test to see if they actually had point values in the scenario and if they counted towards the Victory Conditions.
I set the scenario for 10 minutes and just clicked Go without moving anyone.
At the end the Allies failed to, but could have, received points for the Tank (U1) and the Gun (U2) but the Scenario did not recognize the Road Block (U3) as an objective even though I had given it a U#, name and point value.
The Germans did not receive any points for saving the Unit Objectives from being destroyed by the Allies.
Questions
Thanks for any input and/or advice.

Questions
- Why did I not see a U# when deploying in the Suppression Area of the Unit Objectives I created?
- Other than being told, is there a way either side knows what the Unit Objectives are? For example Terrain Objectives are highlighted, are Unit Objectives marked in anyway while playing the Scenario?
- Why didn’t the wire and minefield points count towards the Victory Conditions? Can an inanimate objects be given as a Unit Objective?
- Should the side tasked with defending the objectives receive points for avoiding their destruction?
