FORCE MOVE [ALT + ‘L’ CLICK]
Infantry annoying your tanks? Squish ‘em. Using the Force Move command, you can make
your Tanks (or any heavy unit) move into an enemy occupied area and attempt to overrun
the infantry in the square. To do this, select the unit(s) to Force Move, then hold down the
ALT key and left-click on the area you want to Force Move to. You can also use this to sin-
gle-out a particular infantry unit that is giving you a hard time. Your unit will attempt to crush
that infantry until either it succeeds, you give it a new order, or your unit is destroyed.
Vehicles cannot overrun each other, and infantry cannot overrun tanks. Only tracked or
heavy units can Force Move into enemy infantry. You cannot force your tanks to crush
your own infantry.
SCATTER [‘X’ KEY]
Tanks trying to squish your infantry? Planes coming in with Parabombs? With Scatter, you
can make your troops move in a random direction from their current location, allowing
them to (most of the time) dodge out of harms way.
To Scatter units, select them and hit the ‘X’ key. Units that are scattering will continue to
carry out any attack orders, so you can select them, tell them to attack, then hit the ‘X’
key to make them Scatter from the threat.
Note, scattering will only make all the selected units move once. If you want them to con-
tinually Scatter, you must keep the units selected, and continue to hit the ‘X’ key every sec-
ond or so. Otherwise, they will Scatter once, then stop, continuing to attack the target you’ve
given them. Also, units that are scattering may Scatter out of their fire range. If this hap-
pens, left-click on the target again (with the units still selected), and your units will move
back into firing range.
STOP [‘S’ KEY]
If a unit is marching to certain death, or has been given an order that you don’t want them
to continue to do, you can force that unit (or structure if it’s a turret of any kind) to Stop
firing, moving or mining. Select the unit(s) that you want to Stop, and hit the ‘S’ key.
ESCORT [CTRL + ALT + ‘L’ CLICK]
Sometimes, you may want units to ‘escort’ another unit as it moves around the battle field.
This can be good for protecting an Ore Truck or any other critical unit as it moves about.
To Follow a unit, select the unit(s) that are going to be doing the ‘escorting’, and hold down
the CTRL and ALT keys. While these are still held down, you will see the cursor has
changed to a gold movement cursor. Click on the unit that you want Followed, and they
will automatically go after it, following it wherever it goes.
Note, having large groups of units escorting another unit can be counter-productive. Don’t
have a large group of units escort your Ore Truck, or it may hinder the Ore Truck’s move-
ment, and slow down your collection of Ore. If enough units are escorting, they may sur-
round their target, and it will not be able to move at all.
Aircraft, helicopters, and units without weapons (like Medics and Engineers) will not escort
either.
