Any fix for the auto scroll back to the firing unit? It gets annoying when targeting the same enemy unit 1/2 way across the map, and the scroll keeps kicking in...

But you don't need to scoll back to the targeted unit. Just hit "f" again.

Yup. The 3 keys to this game:

R - rally
T - next target
F - fire

Yeah, I use that "R" one an awful lot

Thanks for the tip on the "F"

As much as I like being zoomed in close where I can watch the enemy squads wither under my fire, at longer ranges I zoom out and that tends to minimize the scroll jumping situation.

Yep. Same suggestion here. Zoom out and bump your nose into the screen, watching the buggers shooting!

It also helps at times to discover hidden firers hexes.

Try standing across the room and using a stick to hit the F key . . .
