ORIGINAL: cmdrsam Well if follow is for settting screens. Then I guess Im not following stand off? Another guess perhaps would be stand off distance from a threat? No. Follow..is to follow someone. You are setting THIS TF to follow ANOTHER TF. Read again what I wrote in previous post, if you want "screening TF". That TF would be separate TF. In same TF, "screen" is provided automatically by surface combat ships in TF. That would have nothing to do wuth "stand off range". Example: You form CV TF with 2 CV, 2 fast BB, 2 CA, 2 CLAA, 17 DD. If TF is alone, "screen" is provided by ships in same TF in same hex. But: Sometimes you'd want "screen TF" as scouting force. Then you could for example form two TFs: TF1: 1 CL, 4 DD TF2: 2 BB, 2 CA, 2 CL, 12 DD. First you set TF1 destination, then: set TF2 to follow TF1 with desired standoff range, lets say 1. Result: TF2 will follow TF2 1 hex behind.
