How to Move Fleet in Battlestations Midway

Video Transcript

"DIXON GILLETTE: Welcome back to Expert Village, my name is Dixon Gillette. Let's continue our guide on how to play Battlestations: Midway. At any time, if you want a cycle between formation members, you'll use the hotkeys C and F on your computer. Doing so will allow you to move to your different formation members. After a couple of seconds go by, your grouping icons will disappear behind your unit indicator and will turn into an arrow. Any time you see an arrow on your unit indicator, that means that you have additional units available to select. Now, once we're in control of the key unit, you're going to want to get to the formation screen. To do so, you're going to hold down Alt on your keyboard and press S and you'll see the formation screen appears. The formation leader is the ship shown in white. The other ships in your formation are the yellow ships. Those are the ships that you can change position relative to your formation leader. Now, from here you can also move a ship to a different part of the formation. Here, what we're going to do is we're simply going to use the mouse and move the ship to a different part. Once you're happy with the new position that your ship is in, push Enter to accept your changes, and that ship will now obey your commands and move to its newly assigned position in the formation. So, as you can see here, now that the Atlanta is underway, the Clemson will follow that relative to the position you selected until you order it to disband."
