Help - Life is passing me by....

Hi,

This is a nice little game which you guys have made available. It reminds me very much of an old game I had years ago on the Amiga, particularly with the separate factory and HQ modules.

Getting back to my original question, (which I'm sure is just a RTFM issue) but I keep getting myself into a position where I have both movement and weapons waiting on call and the game is running in AI mode while my Titan just sits there fat dumb and happy [:'(] (usually while the AI uses it for target practice [:(] ).

How do I jump in and interrupt the time clock so I can enter an order? I know it can be done as it happened a couple of times but I'm not sure how I did it.

Thanks for your assistance.

Press F1 for a list of hotkey commands. The hotkey you want is listed as well as many others you may not have realized were there. Its pretty useful.

I got it!! It's not so difficult to get out of this situation after all.

It's quite easy to tie yourself in this knot. For example, just set the Titan attack command to 'Wait On/Units/New Foe' and then set the move command on 'Wait On/On Attack'. If no enemy appears, the time counter then races away and I was unable to enter orders.

The way out is to press 'F3 :Set Options [Call Move/Attack]'. Just toggle the Titan's Move and Attack options from CALL to DONE and select ACCEPT.

The command menu then pops up and you are able to enter orders again.

Is this best the way to do it??
