Firing unit scroll position

Post by benpark »

Any fix for the auto scroll back to the firing unit? It gets annoying when targeting the same enemy unit 1/2 way across the map, and the scroll keeps kicking in...

But you don't need to scoll back to the targeted unit. Just hit "f" again.

Yup. The 3 keys to this game:

R - rally
T - next target
F - fire

As much as I like being zoomed in close where I can watch the enemy squads wither under my fire, at longer ranges I zoom out and that tends to minimize the scroll jumping situation.

Yep. Same suggestion here. Zoom out and bump your nose into the screen, watching the buggers shooting![:D] It also helps at times to discover hidden firers hexes.[:)]

Try standing across the room and using a stick to hit the F key . . .
