SPWAW:problem with moving units

I noticed that sometimes tanks or other units, although in perfectly good health, can't be moved forward, but only backwards. Is there a reason for this and how can it be solved?
I appologize in advance for any stupid questions, but I would like to master this game asap.

You're surely playing with C&C (Command & Control) preference ON.
When this preference is set on you need to spend "orders points" to move your units in a different direction than the one set at the beginning of the game (or preset by scenario designer).
For all the rules concerning C&C, pls refer to the game manual.
Try to go on the preference screen and turn C&C off, then come back to the battlefield and check: you'll see your "problem" is no more there..

Yes, that's it, thanks Resisti! I will start by reading the game manual more thoroughly.

An old saying in the hardware and software biz:
"When all else fails.....read the instructions".
Good Luck!

Or by the time you get to page 200+ in the manual you forgot what's on page three, or is that senility?:D

I've heard it's supposed to be that Real Men don't ask for directions when lost. Why that is I don't know. I have never heard of any connection between manuals and machismo however.

We don't ask for any help in regards to directions whether it's instructions and or map related and we don't eat quiche either.

Hey, I'll bet a dollar that you drink Budweiser, smoke Marlboro's, and watch all the pro sports games on TV.
My shrink once asked me, "How do you feel about women?".
I was completely honest, I said, " Well I usually start with my hands around the waist......"
Thanks for your help in my DOS post. Please check it again.
I have no sound, but I think I know why. I left the details on that thread. I just don't know exactly how to fix it.

Just noticed your post...
Chardonnay, Roll my own, Ditto on the TV Sports thing vs. watching "Tigers" burning in the snow. I think a lot of guys are into or hooked on the gambling aspect of TV sports.
I love to gamble....poker with my friends....just about any card game.....backgammon (no cube), based on my skill/luck.
I would not put my money down on the basis of a third party's
skill, I.E.- Pro Sports.
Okay, I confess to occasionally betting $10 or $20 against a friend when it's a NY team in any sport, who is in the playoffs or finals.
Go NY...go, go!
