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.
