Hi All,

I could use some help, I was given an order to select a soldier (F2 key) and move him to Kubelwagen and then order the kubelwagen to a position on the road. Ok so that worked, however now I was given order to bring back the kubelwagen. I was suppose to use 1-1 order but that didn't work. How the heck do I select the kubelwagen again and bring it back ?

Thanks guys!

The "return to formation" command seems buggered for me as well. Whenever I use it, my little onscreen avatar guy orders everyone to "fall back".

I had to order him to "move here" by clicking on the ground in front of me. That worked.

It totally kills me that they did not rework the command system for WW2 style... reading this puts quite a dampner on my enthusiam to get the game.

With the original mod for free that was all okay, but as payware standalone...?

Units with no radio (which means every standard group and platoon commander, every normal foot soldier and many light vehicles) should only be "commandable" within a certain (shouting) distance of the commander.

Maybe for gameplay purposes a platoon commander could use the "Command Mode" from A2 all over the map, which is already a bit of a stretch (not every group/squad carried a portable radio).

But to leave each individual soldier "permanently radio connected" with the "Gruppenführer" is simple not realistic. And the voice acting is so nice and calm too...

Best example for me how to get a WW2 command interface is still Brothers in Arms: HH to me.

If its like Arma, then the F keys will select your individual soldiers.

The problem I have guys is that there kubelwagen is somewhere on the map (not in visual range) and I have to order the car to come back. I don't know how to select the car on the map (M key) and bring it back.

UPDATE, I was able to bring the car back by first pressing "space" key and then click (clicking the scroll wheel) on the destination spot. The next mission has started and I have to say the tutorials are a complete mess, I gave up on this game until it gets more polished and the tutorials get cleaned up.

I agree, I think the way to learn is to get arma and master that first- IF is fantastic though and I will continue to play

Well

If the KW Driver is in your squad, you should have his icon on the bottom with a car symbol (wheel) so you select the icon of the guy and order him around. That's Arma at least...
