Sorry to be a nag, but aren't we supposed to keep scenario-specific data out of posts on this topic? Presumably to avoid ruining FOW for other players.

Early in a battle, before contact, I want to rush to occupy some key ground. Now maybe I shouldn't do this, and I expect to learn as I go. My problem is, what should I do when my movement orders will only occupy 25 seconds (or whatever) of the next one minute? Is there a way to order a squad: run to here, and when you get there, hide? It seems like squads fulfill their movement orders, and then they stand around waiting to get shot. I am not yet able to judge how long it will take a unit to get to its objective, and that is part of my problem. By even after I master that I'll still have a need to give a sequence of orders: do A, then do B. Simple conditional orders would also be nice: hide, unless they charge en masse, in which case start gunning them down instead of being overrun. Or maybe I just want more orders options: hide (and I mean HIDE), hide for ambush, hide but drop concealment if a human wave occurs. Does a squad know when it has been spotted? How about, hide but drop concealment and start shooting if they spot you?
