How deploy soldiers at the beginning of the game?

[AdamPraha]

For God's sake,what button to deploy soldiers??

 

During the deployment phase? They can't move the mouse. I need to put them in positions.

 

Thank you for answer

Depends if the scenario maker allows it - some scenarios (not many) have them locked in position, otherwise simply use the move command to plonk em around your setup zone.

There is a small section of the Engine Manual pdf that deals with the Setup Phase and explains how it works.

No, it doesn't explain anything.If it was written there, I don't ask.

HI Wicky

There are only two big missions.

There's a green area where to put them.

I've never been able to move them in any game.

I can give them a move command, but that happens after the game starts.

 

So gentlemen ... the question is.

How to deploy them in free space during the deployment phase?

Your designated setup zone will either glow blue or glow red. If you select a unit and hit the 'N' key it'll allow you to place the unit anywhere within the setup zone. If you click on a spot outside of the setup zone you'll get a destination waypoint.

Clearly it's N.

Thanks, I've never seen it in the manual.

Any of the movement keys will do the same thing...

I always just click on the unit and use the "Move" command and that allows you to move the unit around in the setup zones which as stated above are usually blue or red.

It is only if you want them to move outside of the setup zone during the first turn that you might wish to give them a different command, "Quick" "Hunt" etc. You'll also find the more you play whether you prefer to use your keypad "N" etc or use the command panel. Either way, Happy Gaming!
