Using missile-firing military units

[Hallan]

Another newbie question please. If I were to take 3-4 units onto the battlefield, lets say three are spearmen and one is a rock-thrower.
1) How do I select the unit I wish to move
2) Once I have a rock-thrower, or ANY missile-firing unit where I want it, how do I then get that unit to fire on the hostile unit of my choice (assuming that it is in range)

Many thanks.

Hi hallan,

You do not select the units, the game selects them for you. All units on the battlefield are placed in order in which they take action, and this order is based on their movement points. You see which unit is currently making a move by two things, their hex is highlighted on the grid the map uses, and they are the unit in the big circle at the bottom of the screen.

Once you have a range unit, you can move it in the green area hexes, and fire at the units that are in the red area hexes. Once an enemy unit is in your reach (the red-ish hexes), simply click that units when you're making a move with the rock-thrower.
