WAIT FOR ME (7): Tells your units to wait for you. STOP (6): Makes the units stop where they are. So, three calls would make your soldiers move 120m away. Each time you call this will increase the distance from you by 40m. Only works if your soldiers are actually in formation. FLANK RIGHT (5): Makes your soldiers keep formation, but a ways to your right.

FLANK LEFT (4): Makes your soldiers keep formation, but a ways to your left. STAY BACK (3): Makes your soldiers keep formation, but a ways behind you. ADVANCE (2): Makes your soldiers keep formation, but a ways ahead of you. If they don't, you will first have to tell them to move somewhere close to you, and then tell do RETURN TO FORMATION again when they are near you. They have to actually know where you are for this to work. RETURN TO FORMATION (1): Makes your soldiers fall back into formation. These commands make your soldiers move around. Unavailable items may either be grayed out or simply not listed. This means that you can't have a menu open and wait for something to be added to it. Menus are only updated when they are first displayed. Since the mouse can only be used for a few commands, you will have to use the command menu for most things. Hold down ALT and left click to give watch commands. Left click on enemies to give targets & engage commands. Left click on vehicles to give board commands. If you have at least one unit selected, you can give commands to it using the mouse. Hold down shift to add units to your current selection. Finally, if you are in command view or have at least one unit selected, you can select units by clicking on them. Hitting it one more time will unselect all units. If not all units were selected the first time, hitting it a second time will select all units. The first time you hit this it will select all un-tasked units (units without a text label like "hide" or "mount"). Select units individually by hitting the function key corresponding to their number (F2 selects 2, F8 selects 8, etc.) You can select units as a group by hitting the ~ key. The crew of a vehicle will all receive one icon while units riding in the back will each have a separate icon. Finally, if a unit is in a vehicle the icon will change. There may be a small label indicating what a unit is doing (hiding, mounting a vehicle, etc.). Then you can tell the unit to fix the problem by telling him to heal at a medic or rearm (see ACTION). You can find out what the problem is by telling the soldier to REPORT STATUS.

If a soldier is colored red, it means he has a problem (like being injured or low on ammo). Their icons indicate what type of soldier they are. Your currently selected units will have a small box around their numbers. The command bar at the bottom shows you all the soldiers under your command (assuming, of course, that you are a commander).
