How to move a HQ and attached units?

Post by ETF »

Love this program - but there must be a short cut key to move all units attached to a HQ no?
I really dislike the micromanagement of trying to organize units. Any ideas how to do this? I do like the feature with the PANTHER Games where they draw lines and highlight units of the same command structure.

Thanks

I believe if you Alt Click the parent company either on the screen or the notebook on the right side of screen under the OB tab it will then select all the units that are attached to parent company. Then you can move all units at one time via waypoints. Hope that answered your question.

Control left click will on a hq will highlight all units under its command. Alt-Left Click will on a headquarters will highlight all units under the hq and then allow you to issue commands to all units in that command. Beware that this is not Command Ops and the units will move to the one way point set. You can then click on each unit and adjust the waypoints and fine tune the orders for that unit.

I may be wrong, but I don't think you can use ALT / Click (i.e.Group Move) with the limited staff rule in effect.

True, no group moves with limited staff on.
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!
