Making Smoke

[Crossroads]

SO does ALT-clicking a hex no longer work?

Alt-clicking when plotting a hex via Artillery Dialog still works, yes. I asked Berto to modify the FAQ explanation.

Ctrl+Alt clicking when firing a smoke capable unit directly still works as well.

The smoke / starshell icons are there to help when firing a selected unit only. While I am used to Ctri+Alt as smoke is used quite often, I never remember how starshells are fired (Ctrl+Shift+Alt wasn't it), so the icons were included there for this reason. For me at least the Starshell icon is a godsend.

Icon Toolbar in general was expanded in order to visualize the available key commands especially to those new to the series, to remind that there is a lot of stuff going on and not just moving+firing with the available APs.

Anyway, the FAQ thread at Matrix forums is available HERE. Smoke / Starshells is discussed there as well. Hope it helps.
