Brakefan Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Sorry if this has already been covered else where, but I have just discovered that by right clicking on the map, you are able to draw a box around several units, which will highlight all units inside the box. Left clicking will then ask you if you want to create a task force from these units. I can not find anything in the manual about this and was wondering if there was a tutorial about it. Also can I get some advice on how best to use this option and when? Thanks a lot. Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted January 27, 2022 Members Share Posted January 27, 2022 A tutorial video is in preparation. Task forces allow you to create "group routes" that auto-clone the path that you plot; you can then make adjustments before you give then a command for the whole TF to follow the new route. Note that "Infantry Task Forces" are limited to platoon size (or at least, in version 4.3 they will be), but as such suitable for making infantry platoons act as coherent formations. Should make handling infantry-heavy scenarios much easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakefan Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 Thanks Ssnake, This sounds very useful and I look forward to the tutorial and V4.3. Thanks Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poofydoodle Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 You can also shift click to select units and right click one to make a task force. You can also drag a box around a mixed formation and choose infantry task force to isolate only the infantry. Very useful for getting dismounted infantry on the move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakefan Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 Ah.. Thanks. This might just improve my success rate. Hope we don't have to wait too long for the tutorial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brakefan Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Hi Gibsonm, Thanks for the info. I never thought to search "Formations", my bad. I will check page 57. Thanks again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Actually I searched for "groups" but in any case I hope it helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakefan Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 I didn't search for "Groups" either. I only searched for "Task Force" Seemed logical at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted January 30, 2022 Members Share Posted January 30, 2022 Yeah, I suppose we should standardize the naming conventions a bit more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakefan Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 Or maybe I should just be more flexible in my thinking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
