huhr Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I have had this game since the beginning and would finally like to try it. However, I often found the playing of the game more difficult than Cmbb with the playing aid. What do you guys suggest as far as movement arrows and bells and whistles to have in while playing. I like to play wego and I also have cm Normandy, Afghanistan, RT of course and maybe the new Final Blitzkrieg. Thanks and anything that helps with playing is appreciated 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbasid111 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Can you be more specific on the playing aid you require? Unfamiliar with the CMx1 games. I tried Afrika Korps after playing CMx2 and didn't like it at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womble Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I think, for me, the most important "playing aid", if I'm understanding huhr's question correctly, is the "Alt-P" "show all paths" toggle. That and the Alt-T "trees" toggle. Alt-Z can be useful sometimes, but I've got so used to command distances prior to the introduction of that feature that it's only marginally more useful than "the whole platoon highlights", for me. Some people like a terrain mod that puts an 8m grid on the ground, for helping read contours, and there are "transparent trees" mods which let you work in forests with the trees actually turned on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbasid111 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 You can find a complete list in the UI. Hit "Menu" then "Hotkeys" to bring it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I can just imagine Zhukov asking Uncle Joe if he could turn off the trees. Zhukov:- "Comrade Stalin, could you please turn the trees off? My men can't see the Fascist invaders." Stalin:- "Gregory Konstantinovich, %^*&@ ***@%*! %$£@@ ! N.K.V.D.up against the wall." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
