Which formation is best?

[IceFire 0]

You'lle find that answer in the beginning of the thread.

Anyways, I love using formations and teams. It's amazing how much more you can do with a properly coordinated team instead of just yourself.

Whenever I command a team, I generally let them do all the work, and I rarely ever fire a shot. I hardly ever lose any men.

Formation and team positioning can be crutial to a mission. My best mission with a team was in the Cold war crisis mission where you first take command and have to rush your men to that town to defend it against the oncoming attack.

I get my men to the town and quickly set them up a bit away from the town closer to the direction of the oncoming attack. I have them all hold fire, and make sure my rocket launcher men are ready. As soon as the enemies are marching in right past us I say GO GO GO!!

Boom, immediately both BMP's are goners. And then the rest of the enemy falls in like 8 seconds. The other computer controlled men never even fire a shot. Neither did I have to.

I didn't lose a man.

I love the stategies to using teams in this game. If you really know how to use them right that is.

Does anyone know?<span id='postcolor'>

i think so. setgroup command might be it.

but that belongs in ME&S <span id='postcolor'>

Actually I don't believe there is a way to do that... if there is I have never heard of it.<span id='postcolor'>

Then I herby demand commands for the editor to do so.
