*Sigh...*

Dont know exactly where this would go, could be technical, could be this one, or could be the general forum...But I'll just keep it to this...Dealing directly with gameplay issues...

First of all, from what little I've played of the game where it works, loved it...but alas...bugs are showing up repeatedly now...

The main one is that the character does not move to where I point the cursor and click...and no, it is not a terrain space where I cannot move through...This first showed itself by chars taking a different amount of moves to get to a point, but now, the who thing is screwed...often times I cant move a character through a whole flat area now...*Sigh*...

A related problem to this one is that the number shown (I play in ITB mode) for movement is incorrect...and when you have eight action points, and move forward four and need to use other four for using the Hunting Rifle...it gets very annoying...

Only on third mission at the moment...and perhaps its only the map...I hope...*Sigh*...but when you cant plan exactly how your chars move, you cant really plan for battles at all...:\...

Also...I've noticed that its very difficult to pull off ambushes in real time mode...before the first shot is fired...You can set them to aggressive...but that isnt quite as effective as I would like...Ah well...

Oh, and one last question, what are those fuel tanks in the third mission for? Blew them all up, but nothing really happened...So I dont really see why the mentioned it in the map...

Any help with the first two problems though? *Sigh*...Must...game...and I do have 1.27 patch, bought the game a few days ago and it already had it on...but downloading it again in case...

When does the not moving part happen? All of the time or just in combat?

I have always played in CTB so I can't help you with TB.

As for ambushes, use sneak mode where possible and shut off aggresive sentry mode or use scout sentry mode. You will only shoot at the enemies in aggresive which like you said is a pain in the ass sometimes.

I see in the reference card a shortcut: CTRL-LEFT-CLICK to move to point on same level. Can't recall what that does.

Heh...need to clear up a few points I see...wrote it at 2:30am...cant really blame me,

Not moving part...its recognized in combat, not sure if it happens outside of it...Mainly because it doesnt matter outside of combat...(Unless of course they move into combat, but that hasnt happened yet...)

As for ambushes, yea, I learned that in the beginning (Agg mode), now I never have my chars in aggressive mode because I do not want them firing when they first see the enemy, but when they have the most accurate shot...As for using Sneak...always use it, even when Im not ambushing...even people with skill of 8 or so, heh...

Ctrl-Leftclick...hmm...not sure either...just recently got this so unsure...

Hmm...Seems that my previous problems of my squad not moving where I tell them to has disappeared...after installing the 1.27 patch...which is bizzare because it was already 1.27 out of the box...

Although now I have the problem of occasional illegal opperations...bah...
