Small but precious proposal

[Gurra]

And so it happened once more: unbeknownst to me, the HQ unit somehow stayed selected, and all carefully placed units were moved in one swift stroke and had to be arranged once more. Could there be implemented a ctrl Z function in the set up phase perhaps?

best regards

+1 here! ... I've had that happen more than once! ... and also unsuccessfully tried to hit "ctrl Z" in the vain hope that I could undo that last move!

... but only if it is an "easy" fix! Don't pull resources away from higher priority fixes!!

[Wreck]

I also have hit control-Z hopefully... but speaking as a programmer, the chances of this being an "easy" fix are sadly zero.

On the Mac it's Command-Z, and yes I too have wished for it more than once.

This has been brought up multiple times and, yes, I find it the kind of thing that makes one want to quit the game entirely.

Modest proposal: Above a platoon HQ, selecting a HQ lights up all the units, but you would be unable to move them all as a unit.

I am going to be of the opinion that it is rare that one would move an entire company on the same straight line. (Anytime I tried to move whole companies with one click in C and F it was a mess)

So rare, in fact, that routinely moving 3 or 4 platoons individually, instead of the whole company at once, would be preferable to having to endure the occasional company/battalion catastophe of accidently canceling dozens of way-points. If one goofs up at the platoon level, it is just less painful than at the higher levels of HQ.

There are just all kinds of reasons to click on a Company HQ--noting the general distribution of the company, or finding Company arty or assets--which do not involve wanting the Company to move. And for the lack of a right-click, many minutes of calculation and work are gone?

By such small changes, a game can become much more user friendly, without sacrificing realism.

While we're on the subject a "follow" command would help A LOT. On the larger maps moving up reinforcements squad by squad is tedious to say the least. And moving them all en-masse is a sure way to get people killed and vehicles bogged.
