I can't imagine that this was intentional, so I'm posting it as a bug report.

The starting units on the WWII map have been changed. Germany, USA, and UK are missing ships. I checked the units by using map#40005 to create a scenario and it clearly shows that the ships are not selected to appear on the drop. Additionally, some territories (England, Western USA, and probably others) no longer have a sea zone designated. There are probably other changes too but those are the most glaring. I know changes have been made intentionally in the past, but they were subtle and done to balance play. These changes are drastic which leads me to believe there is a bug involved.

OK, things are weird and I can't figure it out:

-A new WWII game just started and it DOES seem to have the right units in the right places, so I checked the map by trying to make a scenario using the same map (i.e. I clicked on the map name, "World War II", and proceeded from there.
-This is where thing get weird. No ships...at all. I went back one screen to where I select which types of units will be allowed and it clearly shows that all types of ships are selected and yet when I go back to the screen were starting units are selected, again no ships for any players.

I don't do very much game creation so maybe this is just me not knowing how things work, but it seems like something is amiss.
