Two Things

Post by OldGiants »

1. AUTORUN.EXE stopped working. No idea why. I simply double click on PIKEANDSHOT.EXE to start the game. All my other Matrix menu programs work.

2. I need an 'undo' key/icon for movement. At least every other turn I click expecting a unit to change facing but it moves into the space. Annoying, for now, will be the reason I stop playing if it is not fixed.

Otherwise this is a solid game that I'm learning as I go along. I think I will enjoy this much more than Panzer Gren, despite usually liking WWII games more.

Try the right click/left click mouse options to see what suits you best as undo isn't really possible unfortunately. The game is not designed for it at all and it wont bolt in.

Actually Ian is right, with a bit of practice an undo option is not so necessary. More if you want to change your mind but its ok, after all a general couldnt be like eerrgg no sorry dont move guys, come back !!

However, about how many action point you have left, maybe it could be useful not only to have an indicator when you move but also when you want ur unit to turn toward a new direction,like how much points left you need for that.

Or it is in the manual and I should read it more ( already learned why I couldnt charge cavalry with my infantry, useful reading indeed)

It is, of course, in the manual.

Sorry to hear 'undo' is not an option. I'm doing the right/left click thing and that is what is causing these 65-year old fingers to make mistakes.
