A question for the old guard of the Battlefront engine

[k3mu]

I'm not sure I understand, but facing isn't important for the WW2 games, nor is it in the more modern PzC, In the ACW and Napoleonics it's important as a unit has to face the enemy in order to fire. As in the modern WDS versions.
Skirmishers as I recall also had a facing in the old BG games.

@agmoss - thanks for your help. you're right, and it's also true that the skirmishers have a facing. 


this morning i found inside the general help file (these old .HLP files ...) my answer (for v2.0 under Hot Keys):

Home - move the selected units forward in the Hot Spot hex (Note: this only has a visible effect in the 3D graphics mode).
End - move the selected units backward in the Hot Spot hex (Note: this only has a visible effect in the 3D graphics mode).

so yeah ... front/back positioning inside the hex doesn't matter for gameplay. phew!
