First you need to be in the right segment. So to fire you'll need to be be the active side in the Fire Segment. (Click the big red button at the top to advance a segment.) To move you need to be the active side in the Movement Segment. In both cases you'll Ctrl-Click on each and every unit you want to move or fire then to fire you'll see red highlights around hexes you can fire at. Right click on a highlighted hex to Fire. To move Right Click on each hex you want to move into. They'll be highlighted in white. When they are highlighted in red you can only move 1 more hex.

Status: offline 		Thanks for trying to help guys but there is something not right here ( and that something might just be me )i have watched the vids ten times over but its like there talking about a differant game, when i click on a unit i see know dots and the units will not budge.

I am thinking its the setup that i am just not understanding ( i should say that this is a big step up for me,have not bought a game that is classed as expert / advanced before )i am also thinking i should stick to less complex games but this just looked so good.

IDK i feel like giving it up as a bad investment but the massive interest showen right from the start, plus the gameplay vids got me reching for my wallet.

I know this game is based on a boardgame dose this board game have a solo side to it coz maybe getting that would help understand the mechanics ?

What do you think ?

Thanks.

Status: offline 		Don't give up siddious, we'll help you. Have you checked out our Tutorial videos? If not I suggest you start with the Infantry Movement video. I'm explaining how to move and fire with Infantry units in that video. Also you always select by left clicking on the hex and then on the unit in the bottom left Unit Control Panel. If you want to select several you need to hold ctrl key presses down while left clicking. You right click on target hex when firing and on a adjacent hex when moving.

I suggest you watch the Tutorial 1 video and then start up Training Scenario 1 and play as American against German Computer first. In that case you start with mostly firing.

Status: offline 		Sorry guys but ive taken all the good advice watched all vids etc but i just cannot make any inroads to even make units move never mind fire etc

I have for Hrs slumped over my keyboard trying just about every permutation i can think of just to make units move with no "luck".

Its realy getting to me now, coz i know i am not that stupid and cant realy blame the dyslexia ethier

For the sake of my health ( coz this is driving me insane ) i am gonna give up for now at least, so thank you all for the good advice.

I still want to have a go at game classed as "advanced"-"Expert" so could i ask you to maybe recommend one ( needs to have warfare as the central theme ) Thanks...

May the Force be with you...

Any chance you can post a screen shot of where you are when you are trying to move. I think there are folks here that will be glad to go through this a step at a time. It's possible you have a computer issue that is keeping it from working.
