hotkeys - zoom toggle

Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem is a highly enhanced new release of Close Combat, using the latest Close Combat engine with many additional improvements. Its design is based on the critically acclaimed Close Combat – A Bridge Too Far, originally developed by Atomic Games, as well as the more recent Close Combat: The Longest Day. This is the most ambitious and most improved of the new Close Combat releases, but along with all the enhancements it retains the same addicting tactical action found in the original titles! Close Combat – Last Stand Arnhem comes with expanded force pools, reserve & static battlegroups, a troop point buying system, ferry and assault crossings, destructible bridges, static forces and much more! Also included in this rebuild are 60+ battles, operations and campaigns including a new enhanced Grand Campaign!

hotkeys - zoom toggle

Post by kweniston »

Hello,

is there a hotkey to toggle the map zoom mode?
If not, can this be implemented? For example, numpad +/- would be handy I think.

Also, there are several map hotkeys (e.g. the numpad keys) which are not listed in the manual. Can a list of available hot keys be included in the next version of the manual/addendum? Thanks.

hotkey zoom - Good suggestion Kweniston. Will keep it in mind for consideration at the next opportunity we get to make features updates.

FYI the num keypad is mentioned in section 11.10 Group Orders.

No, the NUMPAD 1-9 can be simply used to navigate the map (0=center map, numbers to move map in that direction), is that not known?

I have some other hot key suggestions while we're at it :) :
- cycle through all infantry
- cycle through all vehicles
- cycle through all guns
- cycle through all mortar units


Thanks for looking into it.

The arrow keys will allow you to navigate the map so perhaps what you're describing is related to that. I don't think this is an intentional feature but rather a byproduct of accessibility features part of any OS. I believe that is why it's not indicated as a hotkey feature. Will check though.

Thanks for the extra suggestions for hotkeys. Good ideas. Your suggestions are similar to the hotkey design of other games I've played.

To add, it would be nice to be able to use the arrow keys to scroll up and down through the units in the battlegroup screen, and then use the ENTER button to add this unit to the selection.
