Status: offline 		Seems like when I try to move a formation, my HQ ends up only moving. I do select the formation symbol and give the order, but then only my HQ advances. Its probably something I am not doing correctly....any ideas?

A tutorial would be nice in the game

Status: offline 		To move a formation, you should select the formation flag. If some units have been detached from the formation (you see a red rectangle around the unit) then they must be reattached (hotkey control+R).

Status: offline 		Hi Veit,
That doesn't work for me, I started a small scenario with just tanks, clicked on the unit with the flag and gave it an advance order and only that unit moved, not the other 4 tanks. It looks like you have to lasso all the units.

I played a few small games and very good.

Do not click on the unit. Click on the flag.
