hidden in another thread was a report that it was not possible to issue standing orders during the land phase, which seems like a major problem. I was planning to test this, but simply have not got the time in the next couple of days. Can one of you out there run a test scenario to see if this is happening, and then make a report to the forum/mantis?

is the game meant to be this way? Is there some reason we can't set standing orders for corps in the land phase?

This could be a problem if you have just been declared war upon and your new opponent moves before you. I would call this a relatively major.

Is this in Mantis?

As far as i can see, i can issue orders to fleets and corps(single corps),garrisons, during my land/naval phase. Havent tested if the orders actually worked, but dont see why not. (I know i just issused orders to corps and garrisons, this land phase in one of the pbm games im in).

The only unit type i think, i cant issue orders during land is (Cossaks/Freikorps), witch i think also says so in the manual.

the issue is that the orders that you appear to give your units in the land phase are not followed. Although this is a tough one to test as you need to be in a multi-player PBEM to actually to see occur.

Interestingly I disovered that you can set orders for land units during the naval phase. Not sure when this might be useful, maybe when players are skipping their reinforcement phase. Presumably this is the same for orders set during the diplomacy phase.

How is this done? I've looked all over for the button to issue orders to corps in the land phase and I don't see one. I know how to do it for corps during the reinforcement phase, but not the land phase (where it really should be).

Cheers,

Ted

it is the same as the reinforcement phase (unless there are 2 methods to issues orders during reinforcement). You go to the second box from the left along the bottam of the screen where the corps information is displayed (i.e. number of infantry and cav, etc.). You hover the pointer where you see the intrinsic corps strategic and tactical ratings shown in white, just above the corps infantry strength, then click when the dialog box that comes up saying, click here to issue orders to this unit.
Is there another way to do it?

Perhaps this should look more like a button than it does? What does everyone think?

Status: offline 		Yep, found it. Wow, did not even know that existed - is that actually described somewhere in the manual? I just checked briefly and couldn't find anything.

And YES, that should be given a button!

Cheers,

Ted

PS In that same unit description area, a clickable area appears over the square icon, but does nothing (ie you can click, but nothing happens). Any idea if this is intended to do something?

Has this been confirmed ?
Just this turn, in one of the pbm games im in, during my land phase i changed my GB-corps order from Cordon to Withdraw, and game executed my withdraw, when Spain attacked the corps.

the standing orders appear to be working just fine, and it looks like there is no bug related to standing orders. It looks like you can set standing orders for corps during the reinforcement, land, naval and maybe diplomacy phases.
