Tim,
Did a quick check. There are two issues:
1. There is a bug in the drag-n-drop movement key command, it is (mostly) not
firing off when the unit lands in Stack (A Deck is a special stack). I will
look into this.
2. You would like the current functionality to be extended to fire off a Map's
movement auto-key command when a selected subset of counter traits are fired.
Your work around is to add one additonal Trigger Action to each counter to
watch for the translational ke commands and fire off the movement auto-key for
you. Not a high prioity I'm afraid, but we'll see. What other Trait commands
need to be included? Youhave forgotten 'Send to Deck'?
Brent.

No, those are translations, not movements :)
