It'll never come out if the developer has to go on duty again as last year!

Hi everyone,
going back to the topic of this thread...
I've been a happy user of WeGo with CMx1 for quite a while now and didn't find anything amiss with it even when I bought CMSF (after 1.08). After a while I got curious and started a few scenarios in RT, one of which was Webwing's (great!) campaign "In Search of a Ghost", which is made up of 3 scenarios.
I found it was pretty easy to handle the first two battles in RT, where not more than a couple of platoons were involved. Problems arose in the third which

has you attacking a small town from the four corners of the map and you have to keep under control maybe more than 50 units. Trying to get all of them to converge towards the town simultaneously was a nightmare. A couple of minutes into the battle I started pausing the game every 2 seconds or so to try to keep track of things, but then I became totally disoriented frantically jumping from one side of the map to the other, so much so that I gave up in frustration!
No knock of course is intended for Webwing, whose efforts and designing genius I wholly appreciate. I just can't understand how a battle like that can ever be handled in RT :confused:.
RT Players! Do you happen to have 12 fingers, 6 eyes and 2 brains :eek:? Are there any (secret) tricks you might want to share with us?
Or, more seriously,
- Could you please tell me how you handle that kind of battle (i.e. without pausing every 2 seconds)?
- Do you give an order to unit A and wait till it is fully carried out before you move to unit B?
- Do you use any special shortcut keys?
- Do you usually play from an eagle's eye POV?
- I understand the philosophy is different, does this mean you give orders to various units simultaneously and simply take the battle as it comes, not worrying if your units are spotted in open terrain and mauled?
I would be very thankful if anyone took the pains to draw up some sort of "RT Tutorial for Control-Freak WeGo-ers"!
Thank you

Well, I was actually referring to David I's ETO. Sorry about the snafu!

Spec10,
in case you tire of North Africa don't forget CM West which together with Philippe's compiled scenarios will give you hours of tactical pleasure in the coming months.

Absolutely hilarious! LOL!

CMx2 will head East after the 2nd Western Front Title. The first Eastern Front Title will be centered around Bagration. How much the Modules will expand upon that is unknown at this point. Too early to say. What will happen after Bagration is also not known because it is too far down the road, though it will likely be a second Eastern Front Title.

Any plans for a Pacific Theater Title?

Is there anybody in here?

Yeah, me too! But I'd also LOOOVE to see a British, German, French, Russian etc. module for CMSF!

How do mount infantry on a transport?

Jake,
usually you just have to click on a unit, press M for move (or any other movement order), move the cursor over a transport (be it a carrier, a truck or a tank). If it says "embark" just left-click again and your troops will start moving towards the transport and will probably mount the next turn (if they are not too far).
However, you have to make sure that that particular type of carrier actually has passenger capabilities (some of them don't). To do so, click on your carrier, press return and read the info in the chart. The last line usually gives information on passenger capabilities.
Happy wargaming!
