IronMike -- Maybe it will help if I give a concrete example of my issue. This example works up to a point, but I'll admit that if you look at the terrain details too critically the example falls apart because of a limited LOS issue.

Look at the Scenario "A Tough Nut to Crack." Hit control E and ...

My apologies re #2 above. I see that I should have waited till 4.10 to see the actual movement instructions. I will try the tutorial again and not bother you further.

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. You folks have shown a considerable dedication to this game system and I remember thinking "when will they ever launch Southern Storm" but recognizing that delays in computer games usually mean quality at the back end.

<t> This is probably the wrong forum for this but let me pass on a general observation.<br/>
