===== Why don’t my targets get planned? =====

One possible reason is that they are targeted by Preassigned Missions (PM).  By design, when a user designates a PM, that removes that particular BSE from the target list //for that planning cycle//.  The concept is that the user has signified that they wish to use manual planning for that BSE for that planning cycle.  The next planning cycle without a PM for that BSE will once again use automated JTCB planning.  Users should use caution to make sure they apply enough firepower (number of sorties, types of SCLs, appropriate allocation and timing) to achieve the desired effect in terms of level of damage, since no other will be planned for that cycle.
