Why so few keyboard shortcuts?

Battles In Normandy is the third game in the Decisive Battles game series. Battles in Normandy recreates all aspects of the Normandy campaign, from the landings on the first day to the final climax of the campaign at Falaise. Strategic Studies Group rewrote the Decisive Battles game engine for Battles in Normandy with a host of new special rules for amphibious and airborne operations, plus a huge number of other enhancements.

Why so few keyboard shortcuts?

Post by vamp07 »

I'm curious, Why is there no shortcut for things like next unit? Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I would think this is one of the first shortcuts the developers would have placed in the game? Is there an easy way to play the game without having to constantly have my hand on the mouse?

Thanks

In the control panel there is a button for "next unit".

What other short cuts would you like? ( the next game is apparantly being designed )

I'd like to see a hotkey to exit out of the combat screen but, then again, I'm a beginner.

We have made alot of requests for more hotkeys. I myself would like a hot key for every key on the control panel. They said that some hotkeys will be included in a patch to come.

The patch will include a number of new hotkeys. We've tried to provide keys for the most commonly used functions (such as Undo) but we've also taken the opportunity to include some new information displays, linked to f-keys. I think that many people will find these useful. As soon as all details are final, I'll post a list of what we've done.
