Smoke Section 5.15

partial quote

Laying smoke is similar to firing normally, except the Alt
key must be depressed when you right click on the target hex.

Starshells Section 5.23

partial quote

A Star Shell can be fired by selecting an eligible unit, ensuring that the program is in Fire Mode and,
while depressing the Alt and Shift keys, right clicking in the target hex.

I'll be glad when we get the tool bar buttons in the other thread.

[*]new Units menu selections

both of which will remind you of the

[*]hot keys right there in the control (tooltip for the toolbar button; in the menu selection text).
