Title: Change formation action
Post by: Pablo on November 10, 2023, 09:38:51 AM
Hello!

I have a question regarding the change formation action.

How many times can this action be performed by a unit during the turn? If I have a unit formed by 8 bases in column and I want to form a square of two rows of bases, Can I spend 1 AP to turn all bases 90 degrees and then 2 APs to move 4 bases from the front row to the back row?

In the following video, It seems that you can move more than 3 bases with the change formation action, is this correct?

Thank you!

Hello Nake

Don't who that was in the video :'(

A formation can only change the frontage by 3 bases (not 4 as seen in the video).
Only a single frontage change can be had per turn. All frontage and direction changes must be had before any moment.
i.e do any fiddling about then just move in a straight line.

It's those fifth column AI robots, Martin - they get everywhere these days, corrupt perfectly good videos and then take delight in the resulting confusion.
