- Time appearance of the unit, allowing to simulate the appearance of reinforcements on the battlefield
- The probability of unit presence, which allow give substitute "non-linear" events
I hope I'm wrong, but I did'nt find those settings in Harpoon 2/3 / ANW scenario editors.
Or maybe they are, and I found no such settings?
Colleagues scenarios-editors scenarios, help !!!
You are correct. The ability for the scenario designer to specify the probability that a particular unit will appear in the battle is only available in HCE and not found in H3. It is a very nice feature.

There have been some work-around solutions that are a facsimile of this superb HCE function, but they are not as easy to use or as controllable as the HCE feature. If you would like, I can show how H3 tries to simulate/accomplish this random appearance of units, but it is a somewhat arduous process and far from perfect.
