mandatory advance after combat

Post by t341 »

Is there some way to prevent a friendly unit that has driven back an enemy in combat from advancing into the vacated hex? Often i do not want the unit to advance but cannot locate a way to prevent this from happening,

The advance is not mandatory. After the enemy unit retreats, you are given the option to move to the newly vacant hex, but you don't have to. Just leave you unit there by deselecting it. You can achieve this by selected a different unit for example.

thanks but I never see that option the unit moves automatically into the vacated hex. I wonder if there if some option that one can turn off or on?

Hi hms, are you double clicking to attack?

It's only a single click to attack. You second click would issue the advance order.

Just a guess, but hopefully that's it.
