Back to Plan.
The selected squad will flank left or right of the position of the Platoon Leader (PL) and head towards a position at a 45-degree angle of that direction.
That position will be x. meters away from the PL's position, with x defined by the slider below the flank buttons.
The path of the squad to reach its flanking position is chosen so as not to cross the PL's Line Of Fire (LOF).
Back to Dialogue Manual.
When selecting all Strykers or all dismounted elements, different options appear.
At any rate, all new platoon formations will face the PL's direction with spacing between the different squads adjusted by the slider.
* All Strykers: Strykers will form a line and a column on the PL.
* All dismounted elements:
The following principles apply:
1) RS2 is right flank, RS3 is left flank.
2) The WS is always in the axis of PHQ, at a distance half of the chosen spacing.
3) RS1 will move up or down the formation depending on the chosen formation.
Back to Dialogue Manual.
Squads will mount/dismount their assigned strykers according to the following organisation:
RS1 assigned to Stryker 1.
RS2 assigned to Stryker 2.
RS3 assigned to Stryker 3.
WS assigned to Stryker 4.
Note that crew can also mount/dismount their assigned strykers.
Back to Dialogue Manual.
The selected squad can be assigned a Way Point (WP) via map-clicking.
Once the button is pressed, a minimap will appear. Click where you want the squad will go.
Back to Dialogue Manual.
All the squad's WPs, including those of platoon formations, are cancelled, and the squad will hold its current position.
Tip: Always use this button when you want to assign a moving squad another WP.
