Title: re: deployment phase Post by: davidx on May 01, 2015, 09:12:02 PM Hello,
Why in moving from deployment phase to initial orders phase, does the computer always seem to slightly rearrange a subset of units even through they are in applicable locations. This occurs irrespective of the units/location appropriateness or if the units is locked. Tanks, Machine guns, commanders, infantry units in solid green/solid green square will be moved. Often to my plans detriment via LOF and LOS. Sometimes, to locations with less cover? regards, Title: Re: re: deployment phase Post by: Krabb on May 02, 2015, 12:01:06 AM Check the tactical manual:
Quote Turn on automatic trench digging: select units and press [T] (Trench Digging at the Deployment Panel). The Defense icon will appear beside the units. Press again to turn off Defense Mode. Red Defense icon: trench digging is not allowed (you can't dig in this cell; cell occupied by a building; the unit's platoon has been moving in an operative Phase and hasn't got time to build a defense line.) In this case, in the end of the Deployment Phase, the units will take the nearest defense points: buildings or some old trenches.

So, no "trench digging" activated. But I activated "take defense". Maybe it is the cause.

Title: Re: re: deployment phase Post by: xandu on May 02, 2015, 11:26:32 AM When I want to keep heavy weapons and vehicles in the positions I have chosen, but did not have time to dig trenches, do not just mark the take up defenses that such units will remain in that position. Now if u can dig trenches, select the take up defenses and units will remain in that position if they can entrench themselves

My mistake for the lack of clarity on the question, but as has been suggest, why do they move when you use the Cntrl-T option, it generates a red arc. I interpreted cntrl-T to use natural cover and coverage versus T which meant to construct coverage and cover. That then suggest the next follow up question? What are the general implications of the four states base on Cntrl-T and T regards, Title: Re: re: deployment phase Post by: Krabb on May 06, 2015, 10:08:39 AM I'll rephrase the manual. Ctrl-T - take up defense, T - dig trenches. So, taking up defense could put an unit to a neighboring square (or in trench, if there is one from a previous battle or from another unit), if AI thinks it's better covered. Digging trenches will... dig trenches! :D If they are allowed. Otherwise it's the same as taking up defense.
