Help needed please

I remember reading sometime long ago that you can actually tell your soldiers what direction they face telling them to move. Could someone please tell me what that button is? I have lost many battles cuz I tell my guys to move and then they go on an angle facing AWAY from the enemy when I only wanted them to backtrack a few feet. And if it's just holding down the mouse button when telling to move I know that already. That is just too much of a hassle sometimes when you are moving a large amount of troops around quick and don't want them to get all out of formation.

By holding down the ALT button and Left clicking on a location you want your unit(s) to go, they will go there without changing their current facing.

If you want to change facing of a unit without moving it from its current position then use ALT + right click.

Hope this helps,

That is exactly what I've been wanting. I can't beleive I've been playing the game so long with this problem and a simple question would have cleared it up. Thanks again http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/cheers.gif

Should be a option for the army to face another direction without messing up ur formation, instead of the units jsut routating abit they shoudl move to their correct psoitions... damn bio
