High Command

High Comm. Waypoints

Give units multiple waypoints:

  • Switch to High command mode [Left Ctrl+Space].
  • Select the unit with [LMB].
  • Hold down [Left Ctrl] while setting waypoints.
  • Edit the waypoint properties. Click on it with [RMB] and change group's formation or combat style.


High Command

High command enables commanding squads in the same way that squad command works for subordinates. If you are allowed to take the role of a high commander, switch to High command using [Left Ctrl+Space].
Units are represented by NATO markers that vary according to group type and size.
You can assign command either in 3D view or on a map. The map offers more possibilities.
