Matrix Games Forums

While I'm at it, what happened to the reachable hexes disply view for units?

It is still there; I use it all the time. H is the Hotkey.

Then which game did I purchase? The "Hot Keys" list in the manual doesn't have any "Letter" hot keys per se listed. The "H" key doesn't work in my Waterloo game. If I highlite a unit and press "H" nothing happens. If I try the reverse and hit the "H" key and then highlite a unit, nothing happens. I feel a bit stupid here - what am I missing?

H doesn't work for me either (in PTW).

Sorry, my bad. I am thinking of Matrix CS. I wasn't in the forum I thought I was!!

OK Matrix - seems something's missing in this game. It's been years since I played the original Talonsoft Napoleanic games but I seem to recall a lot more "Hot Keys" being available. I was so looking forward to playing them again but it doesn't seem like an entirley smooth or complete transition was done here.

Hey BK,

I'm not sure what's missing in your opinion. As far as I know, everything that was in the originals is in here. If you can be a bit more specific, we'll investigate and see if something was left out, but as far as I know these are comprehensive.

A very late apology regarding my posts above. I believe I was confusing this series with the PzC HPS games where there was a hot key for reachable hexes - that was never a feature with Battleground series. Again - my profuse apologies.
