Just upgraded to TOAW IV. Is it still possible to display a units firing range circle? Can't figure out how to do it. Thanks.

Yes with the I hotkey. You can select the range to be displayed as a circle or as an hexagon in the "DBR colors editor" (page 2 of play-player options)
Also with this button:

Before you proceed further, make sure the latest beta has been installed:

tm.asp?m=4385645

Furthermore, I explained the range circles in Tutorial '45.


Tutorial '41: tm.asp?m=4382552
Tutorial '42: tm.asp?m=4387818
Tutorial '42 - Editor: tm.asp?m=4401098
Tutorial '43: tm.asp?m=4390285
Tutorial '43 - Combat: tm.asp?m=4394374
Tutorial '44: tm.asp?m=4397183
Tutorial '45: tm.asp?m=4412329

All other stuff being explained in most of the other tutorial slides.

Is that only useful for artillery?

AFAIK you can change the colours... if you zoom in, that should do the trick; you know there's no an incremental zoom/un-zoom, aye?
