Simple question regarding the My Mission wizard

[farcar 10]

I'm a OA newbie.

I figured that a fun way to cut my teeth would be to set up random combat scenarios using the 'My Mission' wizard.

Only problem is that I don't want to be the squad leader. Is there any way I can assign this role to the AI?

At this stage, I'd like to follow orders rather than have to issue them. :)

Thanks, if anyone can assist.

Select any soldier. For example select soldier number 2.

In the menu you will see "Switch to soldier number 2".

If you want to switch back to being the leader hit Spacebar and one of the menu items is "Switch to leader".

Also, before commmencing the mission, in the set up screen is the option to Edit.

Select this, and it takes you to the map. You can now move the icons: Entry, Enemy Outpost and Exit.

Perfect answer, thanks!

I was looking for an option in the wizard rather than in-game...

OK, I gave this a go last night (and thanks again for the tip), but I'm having an issue.

I can switch to another soldier as described, but when I do, the leader just stands there. He won't move, issue any orders, or acknowledge any of the random missions that come across the radio.

Is this just a limitation of the mission wizard, or am I doing something wrong?

Cheers.

Limitation I believe.

Thanks for letting me know.

Maybe Bohemia have noted this for future enhancement.

Last night my 5 man squad attacked a 3 man enemy position.

I had team blue move to the left and start firing.

Myself and team red moved into a small gully. The plan was to throw grenades and then assault.

I quickly switched places with a member of team blue which meant I could direct their fire better.

I was pleased the new leader did not take over.

I quickly switched back to the leader and completed the mission.

Team blue did a good job attracting the enemy attention but one was killed.

One member of team red was wounded when his grenade bounced off a tree and back in his direction!

if you want your leader to move after you switched away from him, try giving your whole squad an order (e.g. move) before the switch. IDK if this works though

Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try and report back.
