General Use
Click on a counter to select it. (It will be drawn with a thick black border.) Use shift-click to select a draggable overlay. Once a game-piece has been selected, use shift-click to select additional counters. Click on an un-occupied area of the map to de-select all counters. Click & drag to select all counters in a rectangular area. All selected counters will respond to a subsequent hotkey command.
Right-click on a selected game-piece to see a menu of its available choices. These choices will usually include at least the following functions:
- ctrl-<numpad-number> Movement (see to the right)
| MOVEMENT | |
| NumLock must be ON for both notebook and full-size keyboards. | |
| Hold down the ctrl-key in combination w/ the selected numpad direction key. | |
| ctrl-8 - dir 1 | |
| ctrl-9 - dir 2 | |
| ctrl-3 - dir 3 | |
| ctrl-2 - dir 4 | |
| ctrl-1 - dir 5 | |
| ctrl-7 - dir 6 | |
| This layout corresponds (roughly) to the standard ASL direction-description as diagrammed on a Sniper or OBA ctr, w/ 'dir 1' corresponding to 'up'. This orientation stays constant regardless of a ctr's CA / VCA. | |
| All National O/B units [EXC: Acq, Ctrl, Sniper, OBA] and many 1/2" & 5/8" Inf markers have Move capability. Location, Fortification, Destruction, certain other markers (SMOKE, Residual FP, Abandoned) and Overlays do not. All Moved units will Report in the chat dialog. | |
