76mm Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hi, I've finally gotten around to installing and trying to play this game. Didn't get too far though, because I've had a really hard time with parts of the interface, I think I must be doing something wrong. Manual didn't help much, maybe I overlooked something. Anyway, here are a couple of interface questions: 1) How do I select units? Whenever I have one unit selected and try to select another, the cursor still seems stuck on the first unit (ie, whatever movement command I gave the first unit will be repeated with the second unit as the destination instead of the second unit being selected). 2) Anyway to set waypoints other than left-clicking at each waypoint? I thought the CM1x system worked rather well... 3) How can I tell how many casualties my infantry units have suffered? If they are in buildings, etc. it is pretty tough to zoom in and count, and I don't think I should have to count anyway. Sorry if all of this has been addressed in previous posts, but I've started and quit three scenarios because of the above issues--not having fun! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Card Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 1. You have to right-click on an empty piece of map space to de-select the current unit, then choose another one. 2. Not that I know of. 3. All you can really see is how many troops they have left, by the number of gun icons in the central display window down at the bottom when you select the unit. If you know how many guys the unit started with, then you'll know how many they've lost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'Rogers Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 3) Actually if you look in the bar in the lower left corner, where it says "spotting", "firing", etc., it says something like casualty for units that have been knocked out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Card Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Ah, that's right. 1 spotting. 3 firing. 4 have assumed room temperature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoolaman Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Your #1 issue with selecting units is a real problem for me too. It seems like I am forced to make a lot of unneccesary mouse clicks in this game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
