Bahger Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 i know there are "set" formations for different forms of platoon movement but how, in the map screen, do I set a different formation, say line for an engage move, so that the platoon adopts it immediately? It seems to me that once I choose "engage" as the move order, the platoon will revert to the standard formation when it departs the waypoint but perhaps this is user error. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt DeFault Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Or, you can right-click the map a small distance away from the unit and create a new waypoint. Make an engage route form that waypoint to the destination, then right-click the route and select the new formation. Finally, send the unit to the starting waypoint.This takes a little longer, but allows for the route & formation to be used autonomously and can be used with triggers/conditions/events. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
