Squad or Group Single Control?

[sand digger]

Is there any way to nominate a designated group of infantry as a squad or group that can be controlled as such throughout a game? Without having to direct individual soldiers one by one to do something?

The lack of this feature in CMAK et al has always been one of the biggest PITA when trying to use and control infantry, without tedious micro managing every single turn. So, has IC come up with a solution?

Yes there is!! See the numbers on the top right of the play screen. Select a group of whatever combo of units(drag a box around them.), press and hold the control button then select a number on the keyboard press and release. Now when you click that number on the top of the screen.(with your mouse) you can quickly access that group

Brilliant! Thanks Kip and IC, now all IC has to do is get rid of this 'fraternising with the enemy' nonsense that goes on in trenches. And make trees see through

indeed, hopefully its sorted in the next patch, its pretty much an issue when ever the inf engage at a close range ive noticed.. with ambushs etc aswell..

although ive still seen some cool stuff happen like a DP-28 mow down an entire german squad trying to rush his trench position
