What does "Unable to command unit, you need (1 or 2) orders" mean?

<t> I'd deployed my tanks on a road to advance westerly on my opening turn. Some tanks moved westward fine. Some displayed "Unable to command unit, you need (1 or 2) orders".....but the tank would move easterly....just not the direction I wanted it to go. Since it's my opening move, there is no ...

Unable to command unit, you need (1 or 2) orders?

What does this mean? I'm unable to advance tanks on a road on my opening turn. I deployed a column of tanks on a road and advanced some of them westerly, but others wouldn't advance. They will go east, but I'm on an advance mission going west. I don't understand why.

RE: How do you lay smoke using direct fire?

<t> Ok, so the correct tactic is to use mortars and artillery to lay smoke 6 or so hexes in front of your infantry advance? If smoke is being laid down, is it safe to use the full movement possible. My understanding is that you should limit your advance to about 2 hexes to avoid being seen if you ...

RE: How do you lay smoke using direct fire?

OK, thanks. That makes sense. I was trying to have them throw the grenades 3 or 4 hexes forward to hide their advance. If you put smoke into the adjacent hex and then move forward into the hex, does the AI ever just pound that smoky hex with artillery?

How do you lay smoke using direct fire?

I'm selecting my engineers, selecting the X icon. I put a bullseye on my target hex and left click and....nothing happens. Is there a delay of some kind or is it just not working correctly?

Loading infantry onto vehicles

<t> I've recently downloaded SPwaw & the patches onto my Vista 64 laptop and am going through the tutorials. Can anyone tell me where the text files are which are referred to in the tutorials? Also in the Artillery tutorial, I can't get my mortar crew to load onto the ammo truck. The truck is in an ...
