Biff Posted September 12, 2000 Share Posted September 12, 2000 If I group select an infantry squad and a tank (Sherman) and give a 'M'ove order the tank ends up with a 'F'ast order and the squad has a 'M'ove order. This doesn't seem correct. I've also seen some wierd behavior where units will end up with bizarre movement orders that I did not give them. This is usually after I have watched a playback then brought up the next orders phase. When I look at some of the units they have movement orders with 10 or more waypoints which I'm sure I did not give them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll see that most often with vehicles, but some of the less mobile infantry units (Mortars, MG teams, etc...) will also get re-plotted if need be. ------------------ Charlie don't surf! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Time Software Posted September 14, 2000 Share Posted September 14, 2000 Biff - the exact behavior depends on who the group 'leader' is (i.e. the unit highlighted in a yellow box). Charles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff Posted September 14, 2000 Author Share Posted September 14, 2000 The thing that doesn't seem right is when a group comprised of an infantry squad and a Sherman tank is given a 'm'ove order both units should move. Instead I am seeing the tank move fast and the infantry unit does a normal move. That is what I don't understand since both of the units have a 'M'ove command. If I select the tank individually I can give it a 'm'ove order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
