Bog Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Sometimes, when I'm checking LOS for an infantry squad, I hit the Split Squad button by mistake. It's not that big a deal, but it would be good if after you hit Split Squad you get a confirmation window that makes you confirm your choice. It's mainly an issue because split squads have lower morale tolerances, so having your line squads split can affect them in combat. Plus, it's harder to put them back together once they're split. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junk2drive Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 so why dont you leave them where they are so that they reunite? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappy Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Why not just hit the 'l' key? If I remember correctly, there is no hotkey for split squad. That should cut down on the risk. Using the keys instead of the pulldown will also save you hours of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 I agree! What I mean is, the "Split Squad" command is irreversible if you accidentally select it. Sure, you can recombine them...LATER. IF they're in command. It also means you can't move them, etc. I already sent this request in to BF.C around the early CMBB days and was told that since we can recombine during the set-up phase, that's all we needed. It's minor, but it should still be fixed. EVERY OTHER COMMAND GIVEN TO A UNIT DURING THE ORDERS PHASE IS ABLE TO BE CANCELLED OR MODIFIED. That fact alone begs to have the "Split Squad" command become a two-step process, or add a "Recombine" order which takes immediate effect.

Lars Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 It's never happened to me in all this time. What the heck are you doing wrong? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 You really must use the keyboard rather than the dropdown menu - you must be wasting hours per game faffing about when 90% of orders are H, L, F, T, E, J , V ,C and M. If you decide to stick with dropdown would you like a TCP/IP game with one minute turns? : ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
