Not able to issue commands

Post by buddylind »

I have downloaded and istalled Watch on Rihne version 4.50.14. I have a strange situation where my units will not respond to any commands that I issue after clicking on the begin button. I right click, sellect a commnad like move or fire but nothing happens. They do react if attacked but they ignore all orders that I give. I have an old copy of A Bridge Too Far and it works just fine. I guess I'm doing something wrong but I haven't been able to find out what. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Buddy,

When you right click a unit I assume you are seeing the popup menu with all the commands on it, and you are left-clicking the command you want to use? If you do this for anything other than defend or ambush you should get a targeting or movement line stretching from the unit to your mouse cursor, which you can use to designate the target / destination for the command (using another left-click).

Note that if you right-click while the popup menu is up, you cancel the command and close the menu. So this could explain what you're seeing. Be sure to left-click once the menu is up.

Well, this is embarrassing. Now everything is working fine. Don't know what was going on, except maybe too much eggnog. Thanks to everyone who responded![;)]
