Tip of the Week #3 Queuing Orders

Posts: 222

One more tip: whenever you order your engis/pios to lay down mines shift-click them away from the mines, preferably to nearby cover.

You don`t want them to stand next to the finished mines since many units (tanks, mortars or even infantry using grenades) that might attack the engis/pios will usually trigger the mines which will result in you loosing both the mines and the engi/pio squad.

Great advice =).

Don't think Hans mentioned it in the vid, but obviously queuing orders frees up precious seconds for you to manage other squads and other macro things.

Anyway, if you have to leave a squad that could possibly be naded/molitoved, shift clicking to cover hop while you're away seems to lower that chance. At least at these lower level tiers that I play.

This was a excellent video. I picked up a couple things from it. Thank you very much.

Guess I can figure it out myself eventually but can't right now. Does that work with abilities? Like blitzing or oorah! for example? Could come in handy sometimes.
