Hilts Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I'm playing a PBEM game as the Uncons and the evade command doesn't seem to be working for teams or pick up trucks since the new patch. It works okay for HQs, RPG teams, MG teams etc but not for the regular teams....... Also the US engineer squads don't display the correct icons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilts Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 It turns out that the evade command doesn't work for US troops either! I'm all in favour of the way the new patch works but it would be nice to be able to get the hell out when the need arises. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IICptMillerII Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Not sure what you mean by this. I just loaded up CMSF2 patched to the most current version and the evade command works fine. You click on a unit, click the evade command, and they get a move fast movement order, which they then execute when the turn is played. What's the issue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmoney Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Almost sounds like he patched the wrong location because he mentioned something about the icons being messed up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On further examination I think it could be buildings that are the problem. Both the battles I am fighting at the moment are in cities and troops will not evade if they are in a building but appear to be able to do so if outside. Try that and see if you get the same result and if not I have a saved game if you want it...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IICptMillerII Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Its possible this was tweaked in the latest update, and the evade command is meant to be used for troops out in the open now. Just speculating on that though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are already in cover (building) so the place to evade to is going to be highly contextual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in an urban battle it is sometimes necessary to quickly get out of one building and into another, particularly if you are daft enough to be playing as Uncons! This will be difficult to do now especially if your troops are pinned. But whatever, if this is the price to pay for preventing troops from running out into the street like headless chickens, then so be it. Anything is better than how it used to be.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you place a fast move order to the contextually appropriate other building. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
