Moving multiple units

[76mm]

As I am quite anal about my units moving in an optimal manner I am not sure how direct AI move will work out for me, but if you like it then I am hoping I will too.

It works quite well, but there are a few pitfalls:

1) sometimes if you only click on the final destination hex, the units will take a shortcut which involves them leaving the road. This is pretty rare and is only really a concern during dusk or night turns, when you want to make sure that any columns remain on the roads to avoid night disruption. Avoidable, if necessary, by right-clicking on each hex for the lead unit, rather than only the destination hex.

2). Sometimes when you have a bunch of units in the same unit milling around and you click on the lead unit, the following units get confused about who should move where. Avoidable by getting units in a column before starting thie movement.

A side benefit of this mechanism is that it really encourages you to keep units together to simplify movement.
