Hi there,

I am really impressed by the game as I revives the old PG feeling completely. But I have some questions you can probably help me with:

1. I am not comfortable with the system of non-auto-refreshing after a scenario. In PG, I was used to keep my damaged units in the back until the scenario ended. This gave me severe penalties in achieving decisive victories, but I really hate it when my core units get destroyed. So now I am wondering whether it's at least cheaper to refresh your units between battles compared to doing it directly on the map with elite reinforcements. Otherwise you demolish everything, just click refresh and there you go again. No more strategic retreats, keeping damaged units shielded etc.

2. Can you implement a hotkey to deselect a unit? I tried some, but at least ESC is not working. Example: When I have to move my Me109 but want to do the turn with the tank right next to the plane first, I have to scroll to the area the plane cannot go and click on an area there to deselect it. That's especially annoying on a small monitor (like on my Acer notebook).

3. I'd like to install the game on my notebook and my desktop PC. Can I use the same serial?

Thanks for your help,
Martin

1. Between missions green replacements are free, and elite replacements are 50% cheaper.

2. What mouse interface setting are you using - 1-button or 2-button? If it is one-button, you should be able to deselect by right-clicking any empty hex. If it is 2-button, left button is used specifically for selection, so just click the tank to select it instead of the plane.

3. Yes, using the same serial is perfectly ok.
