Movement Not Explained in Manual oor Tutorial

Unity of Command lets you replay the epic conflict that was the Stalingrad Campaign of World War II. In this turn-based game of strategy and cunning, observe how opportunity leads the German army to advance recklessly into the steppes of southern Russia. And as the story unfolds, join the Soviet campaign to repel the invaders... As these legendary battles play out on the hex board, the tension of decision making and difficulties of conducting operations on a massive scale emerge. Command armies and fronts in maneuver warfare, thrust and encircle, capture cities and cross continents; but never, ever forget to watch your supply lines. The Red Turn expansion ads a gigantic Soviet expansion centered on the Kursk campaign.

Helpful Hints:

Units can be moved back from the line after successful attacks. Movement limits look like the extended movement outline. This feature allows for shuttle attacks with units in the rear of the initial attacker.

Pretty sure I've moved armour back from the line after an attack... just like infantry.

but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming "WOW, what a ride!"

That would make sense; I just haven't seen it. Will try again.

OK, I did it. I'll change my original post.

Yeah - the fact that you can move after attacking is very beneficial. You have to have some MPs available though - so if you use all your MPs to get to the front and attack, you can't then move away from the front.

I think you only loose all movement points when crossing the ZOC of a unit, unless you overrun it.

"lose", not "loose". Far too many gamers make that mistake.
