Hi and thank you very much again,I can play the game properly now and enjoying it even more can you answer 3 more questions ( for now ) 1 - If yu move your whole formation to a different location on the map,do they lose any rediness or anything else ? 2 - Apart from the "Classic" do all th...

Do you keep sending units from your sub HQ to the same formation or do you build more formations as you go ?
Do factories have to send what they produce to a sub Hq
Can you send reinforcements to a rifle unit ( picture ) on the map

Thanks both of you. I actually figured it out this morning and I have tried it and it works.I am talking about making a formation,the thing is I know about formations and how they work ( ernie ) explained how they work.My problem was that I figured I would not need formations till later in the game,...

@ magpius You actually have to spend PP to make an empty counter, attach it to a HQ unit, then fill it with whatever combo of formations you want. So,can you walk me through how you actually do that ( step by step )because I really want to play this game. In my post above I have tried to explain wha...

I think this mis-understanding might be the cause of my problems,so,can we try this. I will start a new Phoenix random game.I will make a sub HQ.I will set my city to produce 25 trucks and 75 rifles.On my next turn the 25 trucks and 75 rifles will be in my sub HQ.Ok,so now,how do I move those 25 tru...

@ earnieschwitz magpius might be on the right track here,maybe I dont understand the meaning of the terms you and he are using. At the start of a game you have 6 cities and each city has 3 riflemen and 1 engineer that you can move using the "move" command ( that red arrow ) these pieces ar...

What I mean by counters ( game pieces ) is those little pictures of riflemen and engineers that are on little squares that you move around the map.The pieces that you move to attack the enemy pieces.You might be onto something here,thats why I am making very clear what I mean by counters.Anyway,I cr...

I selected that counter/piece/tile that has 62 on it and it shows the same type of information as he Meziere Garrison in one of my screenshots.I select another 3/4 counters/game pieces and they ALL show different amounts of Rifles/SMG etc etc but none of them have pieces that I can move ?!

By counters I mean the pieces that you move on the map like the engineers and rifiles that you move at the start of the game.I am not on my PC right now, so I will check out what you said about the rifleman that has number 62 and get back to you in 45/60 minutes. Also, this doesn't show that you sen...

There are several "number 42" units. Which one? If you look at the bottom hlf of the screen,you will see that I sent them to the one that is selected,number 42 Mezieres garrison the same goes for the sub formation, the sub HQ number 53 ( wich is hi-lited ) is the one that has these sub for...

What do all those different numbers on my units mean ?

Here is a screen shot of the contents of my sub HQ number 53

Ok,so here is a screenshot of the contents of the Rifleman number 42 where I sent some units to.This shows that I sent them AND that they were recieved BUT where are they ? the counters ?!

@ magpius Thank you for your suggestions as well.could you post the address of that video "Das tactics" I will try that.Only last night I was watching a utube video called "Basics" or something like that and it showed how to do all kinds of stuff but when it came to units and sub...

@emieschwitz Yes,I am really interested in playing this game.I have been trying all the things that you have shown me and that is what got me really interested because while trying your stuff I have been experementing myself nd I like the feel of this game.I wouldent say that this game is not for me...

My sub HQ shows,on the left,the name of the HQ and on the right,2 pictures ( like you have when you start a new game ) 1 picture shows 56 Rifles and the other shows 3 trucks.There is no leader.I selected another sub HQ ( one that has a leader ) and I got 3 boxes.1- the name of the HQ,2 - The name an...

I know how to make a sub HQ and I know how to transfer units into the sub HQ but when I select the sub Hq on the map I have units in the "subformations"box but how do I get to place these units on the map ? I selected another sub HQ and it showed that I had 144 Rifles,6 Trucks and 2 artill...

So,if I have a sub formation containing 10 Tanks,30 Rifles and 20 Artillery and I just want to move the Tanks.Do Ihave to make a subformation that has Tanks only ? Yes. You can put a few rifle/mortars along with it, and they can (if you choose few enough) be carried by them. I think the limit is 5 f...

You "have to" move a whole formation. In that sense ATG is no different from other hex and counter games. Counters are moved on their own. ATGs allowance for your own composition of the mix of subformations is. Other games would not allow those, or have a fixed composition. So,if I have a ...

Rather then asking yourself how many trucks do I need for this and that, ask yourself, how far can I currently transfer it. But in your example, if you have 1000 landcap, and you need 2000 landcap, obviously you need double as many trucks to transfer. 1 - The figures I used were just to simplify my ...
