Good to know but another issue about this. When having a big strong pz korp die because of a minor nation unit blocking the retreat path. IRL the retreating pz would crush the small unit behind it or just pass thrue. Fun when it happens to the enemy but to be frank not so much when it happens to a pz korps, especially with low damage.

The Shift+click option, which allows 2 units to exchange position, can be used when it is not that nation's turn. For example, the Shift+click can be used to make the exchange move for Italian, or other allied units, during the German turn. Even when a nation has had it's turn, units can still be exchanged later, during a following allied nation's turn, provided they have APs available.

I don't think it's a problem, as one of the limitations of the game is that nation's are moved in individual turns, rather than together as factions, but useful to know that even if the game turn has moved on, there is still an opportunity to make the exchange move.

This happens in ver. 1.03 beta v3 and 1.04 beta.

Rasputitsa,
That's interesting to know. I could have sworn I tried that trick out in the first 1.03 beta but it didn't work. When the official 1.04 comes out I'll give that a try. It sure would be helpful for getting minor country units out of the way of major power units. Hopefully doomtrader will teach the AI how to use this feature, it really does a bad job of getting units from multiple countries mixed up and bunched up.

Exchange only works with units of the same nation, so you are exchanging (during a German, or Italian turn) a Romanian unit for another Romanian unit and probably still blocking, but it does show the possibility getting to do something with a nation's units during another nations turn, even if it's only being able to disband the minor nation unit (maybe back to the deployment pool), with a hot-key control, to get it out of the way, whilst you then continue to position the major nations units.

Rasputitsa,
I did manage to switch positions for some Italian and Romanian units while in the German turn. Interesting but I'm not seeing the utility of swapping units from the same "allied" country during another country's turn. It would be far more useful if we could swap the positions of units from two different allied countries to stop one unit from blocking the path of another that unfortunately moves before the other blocking one does. Since it would zero out the AP's of the unit from another country that unit wouldn't be able to be moved twice in one turn. It would be even better if we could do attacks with units from different countries for a better combined attack, like so many other games allow.
