LOL. Yeah, I think there was a bit of sarcasm intended there.
That which you are commenting on popped up in my mind when I wrote, but I thought, "appreciate as in 'appreciate the challenge of getting troops to a safer spot'". I see that it could be interpreted the way you pointed out. English is not my first language, perhaps that has something to do with how I expressed myself.
Regarding the set time, in some missions in "R" a rapidly completed mission is vital, like when you want to encircle an enemy division before they get out or to keep up the preassure on retreating forces to prevent them from reorganizing. That is a challenge I guess I could enjoy if the circumstances were mentioned in the mission briefing.

Historically the step-off line for an attack frequently was under enemy fire. WWII reality.
Good information, now I can appreciate that part of the game because it was a reality.

I need to play CM again I feel, but I need to unload some grievances I have about CMBN before I feel I can give CM a new chance.
CMBN has a great game engine, I think, but too many missions dissapointed me. I felt the time for completing many missions were so short that there were no time for delicacies, like outflanking defenders. Also there were sometimes that the initial set up zone or the zone where reinforcments come to got under fire immediately, which I have very little tolerance for.
Some missions were great though and was satisfying to play.

BTW, you do know that if you plan a barrage during the setup phase then it acts as a TRP for all intensive purposes? The barrage will not have a waiting time (unless you manually set it) and you get the increased accuracy of a pre-planned barrage. This can be done in the setup phase of any battle with or without TRPs.
Yes I know this and have used it. It may be valuable I think.

If it's a battle, just open it in the editor and add a TRP to the units. You might also need to go to the deployment screen also, but I'm not sure. If it's a campaign then you're out of luck.
Smart, I did not think of that. - Immediate payoff ! - because it was a battle where I wanted a TRP that caused me to ask in forum. And I did not started to play it then so I can play it with TRP when I play it.

I have successfully moved a TRP that was preset in the setup phase of a battle (by clicking on it and then move it like other units are moved in setup phase.) Is it possible to create and set TRP:s in the setup phase also when there are not any TRP positioned by the scenario designer? How do I do that if so?

Thank you. This improved for me very much.

Thank you.

Do others than me have problems using hotkeys on the computers keyboard? For example, when i press "i" for a quick move, the game interprets that as "target light" if the Combat Menu is open at the moment. And using the key pad doesn´t work all the time either.
Any solution to this?

How do I make units hold fire until I want them to fire?
I am playing Ambush Tutorial. The unit closesed to the enemy start firing way to early for me although they are Hiding. I put them facing a wall to get as many of them away from spotting the enemy and that helped some.

Hello!
I'm consedering to buy Theatre of War II. I would like to know one thing first.
Is it possible to give orders to all of your troops while the player has paused the game?

I too like that story.
