Automated Movement Orders – In many of the larger scenarios, there are fixed or scheduled reinforcements that need deployed when available. I would like to be able to assign movement orders to a formation’s immediate HQ to a specific hex. That HQ will calculate the best route based on a sub-orders menu, such as fastest, safest, covered, etc. Included would be the additional ability to either maintain formation cohesion or advance all units at maximum range without rest.

The formation movement order would remain in effect through subsequent game turns until the objective was reached or some unforeseen event occurred (such as coming under fire by a hidden enemy).

I would like to see these automated movement orders apply to individual units as well, such as when I want to relocate an artillery formation and it will take several turns to get it to the new location. Perhaps the computer could display the route options before I select one based on the earlier criteria I described above. The ability of the individual units to perform automated movement could have some bearing on its current communication with it’s HQ.
