Precision Unit Placement.

[Champagne]

This is my sixth solo game. I'm enjoying the game immensely.

Last game of the Tutorial, I placed the Weapons Plt Leader on Level 2 of the Building on the Left. He had a very nice LOS into the German positions near the Crossroads.

THIS next game, however, I'm having GREAT difficulty in placing this unit in precisely the same place. For some reason, the Plt Ldr wants to stand in the BACK of the room instead of near the window facing the Germans. I'm currently trying to move him back and forth, out of the building, etc., in the hopes of him finding the window facing the German positions.

I don't know what the problem is. There is nobody else in that building but the Weapons Plt Lder.

I do believe that the game needs something done to improve the precise placement of units.

Thanks.

Just give him a "Face" order in the direction you want him to look and he will move right to the windows. Also remember that in CMx2, units can only see and fire out of windows that are actually there. They can also only use the doors that you actually see to enter and exit buildings, which becomes very important in urban combat.

Yup, Face is your friend. Windows are too

Thanks! That worked!

In CMx1, you could simply drag a waypoint to a precise spot in the square.

This is good to know. Thanks!
