How to move the whole army given a specific formation?

[DEB8]

You don't...

- A

Incorrect ( unless you mean "whilst moving" ).

I am surprised at the answers given here so far...

1. Right click on a unit and in the menu that appears choose select all units / Press Ctrl and A together.
2. Click on the create Group icon ( top left ) / press the G button.
3. Select ( mentally ) a point on the map for the revised position of the centre of your Army.
4. Press Alt and left click on that point.
5. Your army moves and maintains its current Formation upon arrival.

The Manual lists 4. above to move a unit and maintain its facing at it's destination. When combined with the Group order and Selecting All Units, this keeps the entire army in formation and facing correctly. I learnt this during my first ever game...


[ Care : This works well for moving forward and/or sideways, as well as directly backwards - but do not attempt to move Backwards and Sideways, as you may well end up facing
backwards with your left hand flank now on your right ( as initially viewed ) and vice versa ! ]
