PBNA41 Feedback Part Two

Important play note; to move large formation along roads, select the lead unit and while holding the 'ALT' key down, right click on a road hex in the direction of movement.

This is incorrect. From the User Manual (I have put in capital letters what is in bold face in the original) :

To issue a column movement order for a division, select any HEX containing a unit of the division and then RIGHT CLICK on the destination hex while holding down the ALT key. In immediate mode, you do NOT select any units in the division, only a hex containing units of the division.

It's important to note that these actually are two different moves. They have different behavior: The former selects your formation and gives all its units an AI order to the destination.

In the latter, you don't select the unit, only the hex it's in, and you right-click wherever you want the "column" to travel. No AI direction at all, just a one-click move.

If you make a mistake doing the former when you meant to do the latter, go into the AI orders section and cancel those orders for the selected formation.

I thought AI movement was an element of Panzer Campaigns, and in fact the quoted text is from the PzC User Manual. But I am seeing (in Panzer Battles) that units of the same organization will move together by selecting a unit OR only selecting a hex containing a unit of that organization, and right-clicking a destination hex while holding down the ALT key. So I beg your pardon, the process described in the scenario descriptions works.
