Status: offline 		When a move does not result in revealing or bumping in to an enemy unit how about an undo key? Where this would be really useful is for naval moves.

Think about it, it would enable way, way too much free scouting.

Status: offline 		Ok, guys thanks for the replies and it makes sense about why there isn't a undo key in regards to naval moves. I am currently playing my first PBEM game so don't know all the play mechanics. How do you undo a land move?

Note you can't undo a land move if the unit uncovers FOW territory or spots an enemy unit. I don't think air units can undo moves

Status: offline 		Undo moves is a game option, in PBEM it is set so it cannot be changed except upon setup. Personally I turn it off especially against AI, moving and checking for attack outcomes is just another way to win more against the AI.

In PBEM it was a joke and made a mockery of the gam

I do agree that bumping naval units and losing 80% of your strength should change, I just ran a BC into a sub via naval cruise. BC went from 10 to 2, common man.

Status: offline 		hmmm... you could do you move an unit to anywhere, and once you are fine with it (or you deselect the unit) disable the undo, reposition the unit if need, and show the enemy units that stopped the movement.

Status: offline 		As Bill mentioned, using an Undo unit move is only available for land units, and as others have mentioned above as well, only if you haven't revealed another unit, partially or fully under fog of war.

There are two ways to do this, one is by clicking on the undo unit move button on the lower interface panel (after a unit has moved) or by using Ctrl-Z on the keyboard.

For Subs inflicting high damage on a naval unit and especially under Naval Cruise, we would be wary to adjust this as Naval Cruise is the most vulnerable method to move your naval units, and Subs are only generally effective in an ambush situation like this as they are not really effective at all in a move and then attack scenario, as they shouldn't be. It also encourages the use of Destroyers to screen your naval movements as well.
