Finding artillery units

There's a fine line between 'convienience' and lazyness

On a large scenario it is not that easy or I would not have asked the question.

First you do not need to open the info window to find the ID of the unit.

Second you can't use the HQ button to go to any unit, you need the Unit menu to do that.

Third, in the scenario I'm currently playing it takes anywhere between 15 -20 clicks depending upon the calling unit. I call that onerous.

One last thing, 'lazyness' is not spelt with a 'y'. Maybe it's a typing error but it could be laziness for not checking the spelling.

Well, you should have seen Don's first attempts at typing the other week, just after the stroke hit.. So just be thankful he's still around to answer you rather than attempting to be a spelling expert, eh?.

.

you have a LOT more to learn about the game before you should even THINK about lecturing me on how you "think" it works

Click on any unit in the HQ menu (H) then click exit and that unit will be shown with a red hex around it indicating its location

I think you need some manners. Yes you are correct about the HQ menu but please don't shout. Oh and I've been playing SP since it first came out all-be-it with a gap when I could not get it to run correctly in windows.
