Title: WDS...American Civil War 4.02 updates
Post by: Rayfer on May 12, 2023, 01:46:35 PM
Updating my WDS American Civil War games to version 4.02.  Changelog mentions adding a 'roaming mode'.  What is that?  Thanks.

It was explained this way somewhere....

Another feature that I think is often overlooked is "Roaming Mode" while in the game hit the R key and you can then glide around the map, and as you rest the mouse on a hex those details are displayed...this allows you to view the details of an entire line for example without any mouse clicks.

Anyone else having this 4.02 update issue....the 'highlite fixed units' button no longer works.

You're right. Let me talk to the programmers.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks....! It may seem trivial but I use it often, especially in big battles like Shiloh where the Union starts out with a lot of fixed units.

The Menu option still works, to tied you over till 4.03 comes out. We'll likely that have that out later this summer.
