Route Marches
Posted: Sun Aug 14, 2005 4:09 am
When I posted this in Wish List, and got no answer I thought to myself I must have asked a RTFM question 
My problem with route marches is that I generally know approx where I want ,say the Irish Gds to go, but Im still developing the 'big picture'. Now what happens to me is I set them in motion with a move waypoint to an area that I am reasonably certain is safe , then continue with the battle. If I dont get to back to them before the get there, they set-up in AA(assembly area)/defensive postion. Which takes time to setup and time to get back into route march formation. ..... I want to be able to continue the march as quickly as possiable when I know where I want to send them.
Not to have to drag them out of a forest, or urban area which aint quick.
Now on the other hand, if you forget about them long enough and/or the battle has turned ugly on ya, having them in a defensive formation instead of strung out in a route march formation can be very good thing. But hey, if ya dont take chances you are never going win in a glorious fashion. Or lose in a glorious fashion
But after some reading and expermentation with the aggression levels, and specifically chossing Route march formation, I cannot get a formation to remain on the road. Do any of you have a suggestion on how to get a formation closer to the FEBA ( Forward Edge of the Battle Area ) without it deploying off road?
