JAKKAL: flesh + bones
GLOBAL COMMAND SYSTEM
(GCS)
ADDITIONAL TOPICS
Below on map P-5, you can see the Alliance is located in two different areas on the map. There is a group of jakkals on the peninsula by the water armed with stinger missiles, a group of drakkan lizards in the valley, and a group of black mammoths on the bottom, right-center. The objective is to destroy Munitions M-7 which is located on the left side of the map.
P-5
Since the black mammoths are the slower group of the three, we should start with them so they can start moving. On map P-6 you see that all three groups have their orders issued already. Group 1 is the black mammoths, as you can see by looking at who is in the group on the top right side. Also displayed there are group 1's commands.
P-6
Map P-7 shows the commands of group 2. Notice the commands at way point 1. First group 2 will move to way point 1. At way point 1, group 2 will 'WG 1 WP 2', which stands for 'wait group 1, way point 2'. Group 2 will wait for group 1 to get to their way point 2. Once group 1 reaches way point 2, group 2 will execute their next command.
P-7
Map P-8 shows the commands for the group of jakkals, group 3. Their commands are about the same as group 2's commands. Group 3 is also waiting for the group of black mammoths to get to their way point 2 before group 3 will attack to their way point 2..
P-8
As you can see from map P-9, groups 2 and 3 are waiting as group 1 moves to their second way point.
The reason that the selected group of 10 jakkals have no commands displayed under <<G-COMS>> is because group 3 is not selected. Group X is. If you select group 3, then you will see the jakkal's commands.
P-9
You can see from map P-10 the group of drakkan lizards have reached their destination. Once a group reaches their last way point and the group was not ordered to 'Issue Repeat', the group will stop and their way points will disappear. The drakkan bats are still organized into group 2, though. You can select the group again by pressing '2' on the keyboard when you do not have the GCS displayed.
P-10
If you want a different, existing group to have the exact commands, you
can 'Copy Commands' to an existing group with the 'Copy Command'(
) button. Let's say that you want the three(3)
groups in P-10 to patrol the same path. First create a
set of commands. Then hit the 'Copy Command' button. Finally, select the group
you want to have the new, copied commands. You can keep hitting the 'copy command'
button and selecting a different group to keep copying the commands to all the groups you
have.
