Prior to the Zone/strategy changes, when strat objects on a map refused to cooperate when we admins were doing a setup on a particular map, we could switch the strat to the proper side by using the Destroy Objects tool. If you use the Destroy Objects menu, and set the base to the other side first (the base that controls the strat - usually a large airfield in the middle of strategic objects like ammo/troop factories etc) and you destroyed the maproom of that airfield, it would pretend it was a field capture and swap over the strategic objects to that same side you set it to using the radio buttons.
Let me explain with a demo. Strat objects around Knight airfield 1 are all Rook while you're doing your setup and using Country Reset won't fix it/swap it over to the correct country. You set the airfield to Bishop using ".sfield 1 1" and then use the Destroy Objects interface. You select airfield 1, then you scroll down to the map room as show below. Select the right side you want in the radio buttons (knight), and press Destroy. Presto - announcement comes up Base 1 has been captured by knights. It would then reset the strat objects tied to base 1 to knight.
NOW, it says something about a strategic retreat and removes those strat objects from the field. Completely. Which removes the admins ability to fix fracked up strat objects on a map.
I know we can't change the new feature in the removal of strategic objects, but just a FYI.
