Pointing at the ground and telling my squad to stay put seems dependent on something I’m unaware of. At times that little marker appears and all is well. Other times I can’t get the marker to appear to save my life and I just say fuck it and we just all march off to die together. Typically, by someone who racks one round in at a time at the exact time it takes for me to switch squad members. But that’s another thing altogether. Any help would be appreciated.
The marker some time is invisible, but your bot always follow the order, their effective in execute it is another matter
This is correct. If you want better results, you need to order your men individually which takes practice to make it effective but it is well worth the effort.
