Deployment Phase?

[sabre1]

When you are in the deployment phase, it would be nice if you could check field of vision. Thanks, I'm still enjoying the game.

Press 1 to see what the selected unit can see

Thanks!

This is good to know.

I RTFM'd but didn't see that in the key command list. Which brings up something else:

It says I can hold down shift to see the artillery scatter range, but this never works for me? Is there a voodoo ritual I'm missing?

How do you access the key command list and the manual? I'm sure I'm being real dense on this!

[junk2drive]

Start>All Programs>Slitherine>BA>Online user manual

That will open your brower to the webpage with the pdf manual. You can save it from there.

At Slitherine I posted the Tips that appear in the splash screen. I think there are threads with hotkeys too.

Found manual - thanks.

Still can't see the Tips postings.

There seem to be some extra hot keys: does F8 hold all moves and F9 return to normal?

Shortcut Keys:

M – Toggles the overhead map view.
TAB – Cycles through units which have not moved yet this turn.
ESC – Opens the menu.
J – Toggles the mini map.
F2 – Takes a screenshot and dumps it to My Docs\My Games\BBCBA.
1 – Shows the tiles the current unit can see and which ones it can shoot.
SHIFT – When using the bombard command this shows the spread area for
the bombard attack.

Not in manual

Spacebar - End turn
Enter - Show casualties

Thanks junk2drive, that was very helpful.

[NefariousKoel]

Oh dayum! Spacebar ends the turn!?

I'll have to be careful near the keyboard.

F8 and F9 still work?? Doh! They are debug keys for single-stepping the game. Not real use to anyone, but I'll have to disable them

Cheers
