More command for units

I already miss these two commands for units with PCW:
For VH: Fallback (Reverse movement for one vehicle) [:'(]
For Inf and VH : Rush (Especially for infantry other squad on surpressing fire while an other is rushing to a new position) [:'(]
Bounce doesn't always match to tactical situation.

Did you try the Withdraw order and the Withdraw reaction order?

Not sure I understand - so you want a version of Bound where the moving unit moves faster?

Withdraw is for all the Platoon, during fight it's a high necessity to be abble to order only one tank to reverse for[/align]a better firing/cover position while other tanks in the platoon keep they running order (hold/move)[/align] [/align]Withdraw reaction as far as I noticed is not only during reaction phase ?! [/align] [/align]It's not realy as similar to bounce with rush, as bounce order to the leader to move and the remaining squad to cover. What I am looking for is : To choose who will move first and if possible to move fast (clear's areas are a killing zone for Inf specially when smoke runs out)[8|][/align]

It sounds like the Withdraw reaction is what you want, but yes that's only in the reaction phase. If you issue a Withdraw base order and only move the others a meter, they should still be able to provide cover fire while one tank moves further.

You should try the Engage order for that. Send the lead vehicle on Engage -> Move, then set the others to stay on Engage -> Hold or Engage -> Target.

To tell the truth outside of armor I don't use the Bound order. I usually have enough infantry that I Bound by platoons. One will Rush forward 75-100, while another will Defend. I feel that give me more control and more firepower.

The way I got a bounding rush was to order platoon to rush, then pick the squad I wanted to provide cover fire and change there rush destination to justas close to current position as possible. I think it then goes into defend hold after it moves those couple of steps.
At least thats what I did.
