Tim, OK...got this figured out. I needed to switch the reporting of the zone to 'gridLocation', now it works great using $location$ in my message. Can't get the other problem resolved though (about the 'Event' deck). I'll keep looking and see if I can find anything. Dave

Neither has done what I want. Here's the hierarchy: [Map Window] = GameBoard [Board] = Main Board [Multi-zoned Grid] [Zone] = Europe [Irregular Grid] [Region] = London I want it to report: "Marker placed in London by Player X" What I'm getting (using $location$ or $LocationName$) is: "Marker placed in Europe by Player X" The syntax I'm using is: *$newPieceName$ placed in $location$ by $playerSide$* Does this make any sense? Oh, and thanks for looking at that other problem. I do have a region defined in there, but I'll take a look at that.

Also your Event Board in that mod you sent - You have only one region defined and snap to region on. This is why your card does not seem to appear on the board - it keeps snapping back into the deck pile. Add 2 more regions for the discard pile and bottom box or turn the snap off.

For example, I have a board called 'Map' with a zone called 'Europe' with an irregular grid and one location named 'London' I want it to say "So-and-so is in London", but all I can figure out is to say "So-and-so is in Map" I'm looking through the reference manual, and it looks like $gridLocation$ should do it, but when I use that in my 'Report Action' property, it prints out 'gridLocation' instead of the actual location on the board. Thanks in advance!
