In the Napoleonic games there is a hotkey "K" for showing the Command Range of leaders. Is there a similar hotkey in the Civil War games ?
I looked it up in the manual but couldn't find one.

They've got one in the Panzer Campaign series also. I mentioned it once for the ACW series but never heard anything on it. Of course I didn't realize it was already in the Nappy games either so who knows what I might have missed.

That would certainly be a nice addition.

Since it's in the Nappy and PzC series, I always try "K" in the ACW games as well. Since no shaded areas appear, I first find myself wondering "wow, this guy has a huge command range" (beyond the screen, you know), and then I realize, sadly, that that simple and extremely useful hotkey still hasn't made it into the ACW series. Why is it that the PzC have such a huge number of hotkeys and the ACW series has but a handful?

Maybe an email to the source would help the concept get implemented?[;)][:p]

<br />Best thing to do is contact Rich H. or Rich W. on this.

As always John can only work on some things at one time. Cant do it all.

Agree that a standard set of hotkeys would be nice.

I for one would like one that highlights where the nearest pizza joint is! [:p]

That would be right in the middle of the Franklin battlefield... if you can call it that... [:(]
