Degus Posted September 18, 2000 Share Posted September 18, 2000 Forgive me if this exists and I have just overlooked it. Being an unorganized type, I frequently lose track of my units in a battle and tire of going from one to the next to see their status. Perhaps an in game Order of Battle giving a text listing of unit status( str, morale, ammo, in command..etc) that would allow direct keystroke access to individual units could be implemented.

JoePrivate Posted September 18, 2000 Share Posted September 18, 2000 No it doesn't exist, with cogent reasons given by the designers if you do a search. It is something being looked into for CM2 however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of debate over this feature. Theron [This message has been edited by Theron (edited 09-18-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schugger Posted September 21, 2000 Share Posted September 21, 2000 Hi Degus Being one of the unorganized types as well, I may offer some help to keep tracks of your units. In the order phase press Shift+B and Shift+C to turn the bases on and enlarge the units scale. Also try to keep track of your highest HQ unit ( A0 ) and cycle through your force with the + and - keys. Hope this helps Schugger ------------------ Very strong because Mikrowaben!

Guest Michael emrys Posted September 21, 2000 Share Posted September 21, 2000 Keeping your squads organized in platoons and under command of their leader will help this and other problems immensely. Appoint each platoon an objective (at least in your own mind) and check each turn to see that they are doing something toward winning it. After a while, your army will almost seem to run itself (optimistically speaking ). Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Clark Posted September 21, 2000 Share Posted September 21, 2000 It will REALLY begin to run itself when it's routed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slapdragon Posted September 21, 2000 Share Posted September 21, 2000 Olle: Rout means run away. A routed unit is one who has recieved fired and panicked. Swedish is not one of my languages but if you know French or Spanish I will give you a better definition in those languages. Or perhaps we have someone who speaks Swedish that can help?

Olle Petersson Posted September 22, 2000 Share Posted September 22, 2000 Hi again I do know what rout means, my posting was more intended as a joke The point is that I'd love the troops to be even more self going than the current TacAI can handle, as discussed in a couple of other threads. Thanks for your effort anyway Olle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Aitken Posted September 22, 2000 Share Posted September 22, 2000 Better late than never... Here is a link to the last time someone asked this question. The thread also has further links to the three threads where the roster was last intensively discussed. Question for CM veterans/experts... David ------------------ They lost all of their equipment and had to swim in under machine gun fire. As they struggled in the water, Gardner heard somebody say, "Perhaps we're intruding, this seems to be a private beach." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
