First steps in HITS  mode are always a nightmare but once you'll learn it,  you'll love it.


I remember my first time,  after a while, i  noticed I was turning around in a  circle    with my general...


Tuna,  if you feel better you can learn the basics at a higher level  like 10, 20  or so.When you feel more confident you can set 2.

Sorry another question. Are you playing with the Kriegspiel Mods on or off?

[Praetoria]

Start with little brigade in open field map, so it's easiest to learn in hits. U will love it, it's so immersive, and have the feeling to stay in the middle of the battle

Yes I am doing small brigade stuff but as I mentioned my main issue is controlling the commander in any timely manner. By the time I get him to a sensible position to oversee things the action is half over. I am only able to move him by using say 1 to move, halting him, wheeling him, guessing I have wheeled far enough, issuing another 1 to move, stopping, another wheel etc etc.  More like moving an entire Corps rather than one persio!

Usually i put myself near arty (using it at no more than 180 yards). Only if i need ti micromanage go in first line. While i move troops simply use "commander map" with N.

I echo this.

HITS is a game changer. Adds so much immersion. You feel the confusion of the battlefield...The flags coming over the hill...Whats over the ridge? Very immersive.

I use 10 for KS mod HITS. Like Biondo said, increase it.

HITS is my play style of choice.

[chrisreb]

Oh, I can use something like 10?  I will try as that may help.

I have no doubt about the immersion level of HITS - It is just that the interface makes it a lot less controllable than it should. I spend more time struggling with the interface than considering any tactics on the battlefield. Still, will keep practising
