Plotting a Land Mission

Return to : MP user's guides

Once the mission launch time has been selected a starting waypoint is shown. Now click on the map to create a waypoint for the units’ movement. Land and Sea based units can be given orders for up to 2 hours of in game movement time. When the mission is generated the unit will attempt to follow your plotted waypoints, tanks don’t float and ships do not have wheels. If you plot a waypoint that will cause the plotted movement time to exceed 2 hours a message will be displayed and the plot disallowed. With each waypoint you can also set ship units’ movement speed. Set the waypoint speed for each waypoint as you plot them. This allows for a more accurate determination of ETA.

Once you have completed plotting all the waypoints for the unit , right click on the map interface screen to display the Land unit mission menu popup

Select Finalise Mission Orders. On the left hand side a final orientation drop down and a button will appear (see Figure 15). The drop down allows you to set the unit facing after movement is completed. There are 8 compass choices for the facing direction: North, North-East, East, South-East, etc. Make a selection from the final orientation list then click on the Commit button. Your mission will be committed, click return and continue.
