This message appears at the very bottom of the unit information bar on occasion. Anyone know what this means? Not every unit says this and I am playing with C&C off....thanks...john galt

There was a thread about this some time ago. I think that message means the unit is out of contact. Not sure.

[John Galt]

If playing with C&C off, does being out of contact have any real meaning?

[RichardTheFirst]

A lot of implications with C&C ON: a unit out of contact gets less orders when the turn begins, if it gets orders at all.

With C&C OFF I'm not sure of all the implications. I know it is more difficult to rally...

This has been discussed recently without any good explanation.
It has to do with indirect fire (z key or B key). If you order that to a unit the message appears and it disappears if you move that unit.
It might remind you that you have ordered a mortar to fire so that you don&#8217;t move it.
Otherwise it's difficult to see the meaning of it.

[John Galt]

Now that you mention it, the last time I saw this it was a self propelled mortar. Hmmmmmmmmm...

If unit is 'out of contact' and you are playing with C&C 'off', you can't call in indirect fire, and it will be harder to rally.
