Face Unit vs Move Unit

Could we get the button for turning a unit moved above the movement buttons?

Several times I have intended to face a unit with moves remaining, but click too fast causing the unit to move one sq. If the unit has none left, the only button is the facing. After a few of those you get in a rhythm.

While I'm at it, stop the spacebar from ending turn. I wanted to press shift to see bombard range but my finger had a mind of it's own. Ending a turn should be a hotkey that isn't so easy to press by accident or cat or kids. At least make it a combo of crtl or alt plus something.

I think that the space bar is fairly common as an end turn shortcut? Perhaps we could add a confirm if you use the keyboard - depends on whether that would make the whole point of a shortcut redundant...?

Not sure about the turn ordering - what do others think?

Cheers

Guess I play old fart games where there isn't a spacebar command or you have to crtl + Q or S to quit or save or press enter to end turn but you have that for casualties.

With the face and move buttons, accidentally changing facing doesn't cost AP and you can change the facing back without revealing your unit then make your move. If you move by accident, you use AP and sometime cause a fire.

I agree with the not having the spacebar to end turns .. the size of the space bar does make it easy to hit by acident. As the king of old farts I really can't remember a game that uses the space bar always seems it was the enter key. Or could be my mind is going.

Pip,

Instead of changing the keybinds permanently ... Can you add a keymap option button to the launcher screen menu?

You know, the player can click on this, change the keymap bindings and it can save it to the OPTIONS.TXT file in the MyGames/BBCBA folder?

It's on my task list, but it actually takes quite a lot of UI and text to make it friendly and polished. I'll have a little more time after France is done I hope.

Cheers
