Setting units to TC off

Post by Buford_119 »

Several of the stock WL scenarios begin with all subordinate units being on "Take Charge from AI". Is it possible to change this to "TC off" at scenario start?

Yes. As soon as the scenario starts click on the highest ranking officer in your command (usually this will be the officer you are playing as in the scenario and you will start off with that officer already selected) and click the "TC off all subordinates" button on the grog toolbar. This will place all subordinates units of your command under AI control

However, depending on the size and scope of the scenario this can result in you quickly losing control of your forces as once they are placed under AI control the AI will do with them as it pleases, especially for units or commands in close proximity to the enemy, and the situation can quickly spiral out of your control.

This is the reason most of the bigger army scenarios begin with all officers under TC, so they don't all start moving and fighting before you've had a chance to evaluate the situation for yourself and begin issuing your own commands.
