A good read and a great game.

Great read and an awesome game!

Help me if I've olverlooked this: Patrol points.

Is it possible to set patrol points for infantry or units? I've not noticed anything mentioned on setting this up and it would come in handy at times.

Great article. Great game, I'm playing it almost every night night. It's certainly set the bar for RTS, it makes all of the current crop of RTS games look like throwbacks to the ancient old 90's games. (that were good in their day, but now look silly compared to this game)

Good question Mindsplat, I've also wondered if it has waypoints, that would definately help when trying to get a squad across the map safely.

I know that you can use SHIFT + Left Mouse Click to queue up commands for each unit but I'm not sure about how or if you can set up a patrol route.

Also, thank you very much for the compliments on the review. I'm trying to improve my writing, in general, so I'd like to know if there was anything about the review that you felt wasn't that great, from a writing standpoint OR conversely, what you felt worked well in this article. Any feedback would, of course, be greatly appreciated.

Thanks fellas!

Well written Wyte

Thank you, also, Fiddler.

It's such a great game that the review felt very easy to write.
