Create outflanking force

Just came back to this game after many years and really impressed with the improvements.

First major battle and I selected 'Outflank'. I am now stuck on the battle screen with the suggestion to 'Attacker. Create your outflanking force...'.

I can click on the combat charts and view the map still, but can't figure out how to select my force. Nothing else I click on does anything. Could be I'm missing something obvious, but would be grateful if someone could help.

Just click on your units shown on the left side of the battle screen for those you want in the outflanking force.
11.2.2 Outflank Announcement
Outflanking Force Composition
The player designates part of his force, comprising of at least one corps plus all Cossacks and/or Freikorps, as the "outflanking force" before the other side reveals its chit. These are considered to be "moving around the flank" and are not included for combat purposes (which includes cavalry superiority) until they "arrive." EXCEPTION: Outflanking forces are included for determination of the base morale levels.
I can clarify this further in the manual update. I agree, it's not obvious to a new player how one "designates" part of his force. ;)

Thanks for the swift reply.

I gave it another go and just for clarification its a double-click on the unit. Now I can get on with crushing those Austrians...
