Status: offline 		Hi, I'm new to SPWAW but did used to have SP2&3. In those games it was possible to move formations instead of individual units (which can get a bit tedious sometimes), however it seems to be impossible for me to do so in SPWAW despite selecting "all" through the toggle button (button "a") Perhaps v4.4 is bugged or maybe I'm just a dummy, either way could anyone please point me in the right direction?

It can be done, but it's a much more complex process than it used to be. Look at page 57 in your manual (manual.pdf in the main game directory). ------------------ Billy Yank I don't define "my own" the way you want me to.

Status: offline 		To use the 'move all' you need to have an objective set for your units and move towards that objective (when playing with C&C on). Actually not complex at all: 1. Pick a unit of the formation. 2. If not done already, set an objective for the formation by clicking on the flag symbol and pick an objective for them. 3. Press 'a' to toggle formation into all-mode. Press a hex in the direction of the objective (one of the high-lighted hexes) and off they go. Be careful doing this in terrains with stone walls and buildings since the units have a tendency to immobilize themselves on them. Hope it helps.
