Who here actually uses "unit movement" or whatever it is called? - Larry Reese - 02-25-2010 Isn't there a way to cause an entire unit (reporting to a given HQ to all either move toward a given location as a line or as a column? Maybe I'm confusing games, but I thought I'd read that in our manual ages ago. If we can, and if you do, how useful do you find it? LR RE: Who here actually uses "unit movement" or whatever it is called? - K K Rossokolski - 02-25-2010 It's in the manual Larry EFII p 34 "Organisational Movement" Two types Column and Echelon. I've tried it a few times...never did anything for me. RE: Who here actually uses "unit movement" or whatever it is called? - Scud - 02-25-2010 I knew it existed, but have never used it, not even once. Dave RE: Who here actually uses "unit movement" or whatever it is called? - Chuck10mtn - 02-25-2010 I've used it in the Normandy scenario that Dan Caviness has in H2H. It does take some getting used to. Chuck RE: Who here actually uses "unit movement" or whatever it is called? - XLVIII Pz. Korp - 02-25-2010 I use it sometimes vs. the AI in big scenarios, never against a real opponent. Too unpredictable for me. RE: Who here actually uses "unit movement" or whatever it is called? - Montana Grizz - 02-27-2010 Scares the hell out of me. A single unit will not always use the "best" route if you highlight it and then click on a hex. Unless it's an open road, I move my units one hex at a time. RE: Who here actually uses "unit movement" or whatever it is called? - Larry Reese - 02-27-2010 No Grizz, We're talking about selecting a headquarters using organisational movement and then EVERY unit connected to that HQ moves in the general direction indicated. On the regular, individual unit find route routine, I agree it has some quirks. Chief among the fact that it seems not to take the first hex it moves into into consideration - for example if a road jogs right and then continues straight, it will drive straight across the intervening ground if that is the first hex - if you move it the first hex along the road, then it is fine and plots like ti should). I also find it quite annoying that it does not take blocks into account when moving. That's just silly. LR RE: Who here actually uses "unit movement" or whatever it is called? - Crossroads - 02-27-2010 I've used it on several occasions. Easy. :smoke: Never on intention, though! :bang::bang: RE: Who here actually uses "unit movement" or whatever it is called? - Jason Petho - 02-27-2010 I use it fairly frequently. Jason Petho RE: Who here actually uses "unit movement" or whatever it is called? - Kool Kat - 02-27-2010 Gents: :smoke: Never use "unit movement" and based on what it does... not sure I would ever use it Maybe "unit movement" was put into CS as a way to manage large numbers of units? :chin: |
