    Starting from an IVF and an infantry squad with no movement orders:
    If you want your squad to get out when the vehicle gets to a certain point:
    Give the vehicle movement orders to where you want it to go Give the infantry movement orders to where you want them to go - but plan those movement orders from the vehicle's end location The vehicle will move out and when it finishes all its orders the troops will dismount and move off.
    If you want your squad and the vehicle to move off in separate directions:
    Give the squad a dismount order followed by a movement order Give the vehicle a movement order The vehicle will wait for the troops to disembark and then the vehicle will move off following its orders and the soldiers will move off following theirs.

    I have some questions before I invest time and money in this game.
    1 - I heard this game requires a lot of micro management. For example If I give a unit an advance order and they come under fire along the route of advance will they seek cover and return fire on their own or do I have to issue a halt order and then fire order?  
    2 - I see that there is a Demo available.  Is there a guided tutorial included that covers the basics?  I don't mind reading manuals but I would expect at least a basic intro to the UI and mechanics to be included with the game in a structured format.
    3 - Multiplayer - I see that PBEM play is possible this is of interest as real time MP games are hard for me to schedule.  Is the PBEM mode widely used?  Would I have trouble finding opponents?
    4 - Add-on Modules - If I purchase the base game without any of the addons how limited will I be when it comes to multi-player play?  Also the price is rather steep which is fine as long as the game is evolving and supported with regular updates???
    5 - AI - I'm a little fuzzy on how the AI works in this game.  From some of the posts I read its pre-scripted as opposed to being dynamic?  So if I replay a scenario will the opponent always respond with the same tactics each replay?
    Thanks for your time!
    Cheers!
