Samhain Posted December 17, 2000 Share Posted December 17, 2000 With the new patch I tried setting up double rows of defensive foxholes (to fall back on if need be) by splitting squads during setup. When I tried to move the rear squads up to rejoin with the front squads in their forward foxholes during the first turn, the rear squads began to move forward, then turned, and "sneaked" back to their former positions. Apparently, CM considers a foxhole full with a split squad in it? Or is this a new bug? I had to move both split squads out of their foxholes, rejoin them, and then move the full squads to the proper position. ------------------ Hope you got your things together, Hope you are quite prepared to die. --CCR [This message has been edited by Samhain (edited 12-18-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfe Posted December 17, 2000 Share Posted December 17, 2000 Two squads can't occupy the same space (or foxhole), and one will move away from the other if its path ends on top of (or very near to) the other squad. Turn on their bases to get a better idea of how close you can move them together. You only need to get them close anyway and they'll rejoin between turns. It's always been this way, AFAIK. - Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samhain Posted December 19, 2000 Author Share Posted December 19, 2000 Thanks, I'll test it out. I just seems odd that you can't move two split squads into the same foxhole to rejoin there, since they'll end up in there as a complete squad eventually. ------------------ I rode a tank, held a general's rank When the blitzkrieg raged, and the bodies stank. --Rolling Stones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Beman Posted December 19, 2000 Share Posted December 19, 2000 Sam, it could also possibly be that the split squad got spooked and decided to get back to cover. Next time, try plotting the movement end point so that it's NOT right on top of the other half-squad. Put it right next to the forward half squad's unit base.
