Suggestion for unit placement fase

Post by xxPKHxx »

The current unit placement is a chore when there are many units, like in the Kharkov scenario. I think having the option of using a system similar to panzer corps would be a big improvement.

Can you be more specific about how it would work? I am not that au fait with the PzC UI :)

You start with all the available units in a list and no units placed on the map. Clicking units in the list let's you place them on the map and removes them from the list (or grey them out maybe). Units can be removed from the map and placed back into the list by clicking them.

This is much more effective, as you can place all units for one map location without having to constantly move the view, and you have an easy overview of which units are available.

Ah - I see what you mean. It's definitely a nice idea. I will add it to our wishlist, but I don't think it will be something we can get in for first release. It does seem so close to the force selection functionality that it makes sense though.
