C9 what do you mean I don’t get it. I now the paths areas etc.
I accept the fact that u know more then me.

In my observations I removed the paths… set the troops to pass as it was with the paths and I saw them pass. They didn’t stop or scatter or something strange.

Ain’t this telling me that troops follow just the links?
If u look at the links they follow just the same rule nsew. If I remove a link on the same area then I see the troops doing a circle to go to the way… and if your tiles are easy to see their boundaries u can see the troops pass from the middle and follew that nsew path. The only way that they deviate from that path is if they are fired upon so they scatter away like a defense mechanism…

Another thing I did I set a link passing over the sea from Greece to Turkey… They took it. No paths no nothing.

I’m not saying that what I say is totally true… just what I observed… but sorry I just can’t find the right way somewhere and follow - test it.
