OK, thinking about the changes that now only allow a Change of Facing After Move providing no change was made before move and that the move is in the sector bounded by the 2 forward hexes.

I wonder if it would be helpful, especially to newer players, if there could be a mechanism that would allow the player to see which hexes allow the change of facing?

At present, when you select a unit, all the hexes that can be moved to are displayed in a white colour. Why not show those which allow the facing change to be shown in a different colour, perhaps a pale yellow? (Waits for all the criticisms of the colour suggestion )

In line with the firing arc triangle / hex then I think this would be good if this was a toggleable (invents a new word ) feature.

It would be useful but we have so many layers of UI it is getting very cluttered.

A discreet approach would be to just provide a coloured highlight on the hex boundary for the available facings when moving the mouse around to plan a move - one corner if fixed, otherwise multiple corners. Knowing which way the troops will face can be a matter of life and death.

Since it would only show up when functionally relevant - planning a particular move -it's not clutter.

Cheers

That sounds good and I'd be happy with that.

Failing that, my original suggestion wouldn't really add clutter, it's the same highlighting of hexes that a unit can move to, only some are in a different shade / colour.

I want to use hex colouring for something else

Ah OK. I guess that just leaves the hex boundary suggestion then
