When I select an option, such as save APs for firing, does that affect all units or only the highlighted ones.
Thanks.

Only the unit you have selected

Thanks, that's what I thought. What got me wondering was that that white line on the movement bar was on all the combat units.

I'm on the last bootcamp scenario. What scenarios are recommended for a beginner to play after the bootcamps to slowly ramp up the difficulty?
Thanks for any opinions.

You could play some of the Israeli independence scenarios (1948), they are low unit and not too terrible of weapons systems to get skilled.

Thanks for any opinions.

Here are my quick recommendations:

Independence War 1948/49 - Small unit action. very little armor and few heavy weapons. It's tough to dig defenders out of villages and towns due to the lack of heavy weapons. Scenarios are usually smaller and quicker

1956 War - WW2 type action. IDF has up-gunned Sherman tanks and Egyptians are equipped with some WW2 British armor and some WW2 Soviet armor. Action is faster, with IDF on the attack. IDF typically must assault well-defended positions. For a bonus, there is a historical combined British/French assault on Port Said as well. Large scenario with amphibious assault, helos, airborne, armor, and infantry. The Egyptian defenders are outnumbered and outgunned with potential reinforcements on the way.

Six-Day War: IDF is on the attack on three fronts. Lots of armor. IDF vs Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. This is the beginning of modern warfare. Lots of heavy-caliber armor and artillery. IDF has the tactical advantage just like they did historically. The Egyptians are usually fighting from well-entrenched fortifications with the Israelis assaulting. The Jordanian scenarios are fun as well. The Jordanians were generally better trained and more motivated. They were poorly led and outnumbered though. The Syrians were poorly led, poorly trained, poorly motivated, and poorly equipped.

War of Attrition - A few small scenarios. Mainly commando-style operations

Yom Kippur War - Early modern war is on full display here. Anti-tank missiles fly around the battlefield and the IDF no longer can just use armor charges to break the Arab armies. Infantry now could engage armor on the battlefield and really bloody the nose of the opposing armored units. The Yom Kippur War features fast, fluid, and deadly combat. Concentrated combat power and combined arms tactics will win the day.

The Yemen and Algerian scenarios are fun too. These scenarios are typically counter-insurgency operations. However, the rebels have enough heavier weapons (Anti-tank rifles, AA weapons, and mortars) to do some significant damage to the British and French forces.

Just my quick thoughts. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the answers. Just what I was looking for.
