Whoops sorry SC, actually the tutorial was an excellent way to get into the game and learn many of the systems and controls. Thank you for writing it, the sarcastic humor throughout made me laugh while reading it.

I tried using the search function but was was unable to locate a starmap that doesn't have the black background. While the included game map is excellent; my eyes are old and I wanted to print a larger map that doesn't use alot of my black ink jet cartridge. If there is a map posted somewhere I would appreciate knowing where it is.

Sigh... I must be search impaired... I've tried doing various wordings of "troop tactics" search so I'm sorry if this is posted elsewhere. This particular thread has been very helpful so I'll continue in here.

Is there an option in a tacop managed troop battle to pause and give orders or do I have to send commands only when unpaused? Is it possible to select a group of troops to give a them all a command? The priority target is very helpful. In my limited experience I have to select each troop separately. I set troops to escort but I've noticed that I can't assign too many to escort a single troop or else it gets crowded. I have found that beaming troops far away gives me enough time to assign them to pairs and then assign the pairs to a 'troop leader' which seemed to work better. Sorry to jabber so much about this aspect I just wanted to show that I've tried this a few times and didn't come post here after only the 1st attempt.

Is there a pre-arranged priority list when you give troops the SAD order? I was hoping they'd choose the closeby enemy marines instead of walking past them to a target and getting mowed down.

Thanks again to those of you that answered my previous questions.

The 'HOLD' button is your friend there! (you can acces it by clicking the 'menu' button, bottom left).

By the way, I made an inverted colors version of the map, I can send it to you if you give an email. I'm not uploading it anywhere, since I'm not sure Derek would be fine with me distributing on, say, imageshack, his material.

It's a quick and dirty editing work, but it should work fine till you buy another cartridge :)
