Waypoints

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Waypoints

Post by Bobbybat »

Is there a problem being able to set waypoints in the beta patch? I am new to the game but AFAIK to set a waypoint (say for a move) you select the unit, then the order type (e.g. move), and while holding down the shift key click where you want the first waypoint, then keep holding the shift key and click on the next location and so on up until the last one when you click without the shift key...Right??

But I cannot for the life of me get a waypoint to set since applying the beta patch!?!?! Am I missing something/being a TOTAL noob or is this a new problem? I am sure I was able to do this prior to the patch...

Ya-HELP!!!

Cheers,
Mark

Try holding the shift key down after selecting the unit or units but before selecting the order.

Just tested it, and it worked fine for me that way.


Take care,

This problem happened to myself a few times but went away once I saved and reloaded.
Have: Socks. Deodorant. £2 gloves. Mince pies.
Want: Line formation banned until I give a specific order to use line formation. Troops that don't take lie-ins until 0800 unless ordered to never rest.

Yep pressing and holding shift before clicking the order button works. Thanks!
