I will get a list of all the land units in the unit panel, and depending on my clicking skills, air and naval units. I will drag a box around the unit stack in Marseilles, trying not to include the naval or air base. If they were garrison type infantry, I might be tempted to leave them there, but these Alpine specialists would best be used in, you guessed it, the Alps. We have some mountain infantry, the Corps Expeditionnaire hanging out in Marseilles. To order a unit to move to or attack a nearby province, you just select the unit and right click where you want to go. Marching through a hot, steamy, pathless jungle will carry its own penalties, though. Simple movement uses more supplies and fuel, and is slower, relying on the unitвЂ™s movement speed, but doesnвЂ™t hurt organization on its own. This is reflected by the troops taking an organization penalty that grows over time as they are redeploying (they take similar penalties when loaded on ships or planes). The draw back is you donвЂ™t want your infantry to show up in combat on a train and start lining up to get their rifles from the baggage car. Continuing this notion, the speed of redeployment depends on the Infrastructure ratings of the provinces being crossed.

The real world equivalent is that it is cheaper and faster to put tanks and soldiers on trains than it is to have them march and drive. Strategic redeployment is a fast and cheap way to move people away from front lines. There are two main ways to move land units in Hearts of Iron III. Strategic Redeployment or Normal Movement It seems they were more comfortable further from the front. An exception was telling the HQ itself to move to Marseilles itself. For instance, most of the commands we issue in setting up MarseillesвЂ™ defense stay the same when we turned on the HQвЂ™s AI and set the stance to defense. If you turn on the AI of a unit or a unit above it in the chain of command, it wonвЂ™t necessarily stop performing the last order you gave it. If the unit doesnвЂ™t have a green flag, but has a stance or objectives, click on the next unit name above its own name in the unit panel until you find the culprit. With the unit selected, you can use the info in the unit panel to find who has the AI turned on. The first thing to note is that if a unit already has its AI turned on, or the AI of a unit higher than it in its chain of command has its turned on, the unit will ignore your commands. In this article, we will continue our example as France during the Blitzkrieg Campaign and set up the defense of southern France using a combination of AI directives and direct command.

Our previous article showed us how to find and learn more about units using the Outliner, and how to set up stances and objectives for armies and set them to AI control.
