Hi Tim, The "Key Command to apply to all units ending movements on this map" is only designed to apply to drag and drop movement.

Do you mean physcially drag and drop a piece onto the deck, or using 'Return to Deck', 'Send to Location' or 'Moved Fixed Distance'. The latter will not work as outlined above. If the former, the action may be suppressed when movement ends in a Deck. When the 'Does Not Stack' piece is moved to the deck, does it actually go into the Deck, or is it sitting under the deck and not stacked into it? >d. When moving an existing piece onto a stack of other pieces, the map >based key command is not triggered. It certainly should be triggered for drag and drop movement in this situation. Are you sure about this one? > However, when CREATING a piece onto >a stack of other pieces, the map based key command IS triggered. This is to be expected as creating a piece is just a drag and drop movement. >I have created an example module to demonstrate these inconsistent >behaviors.
