#1: CC V - Cease Fire Command??? Author: our_kid123uk, Posted: Wed Nov 08, 2006 5:09 pm — Hello i still new to CC series but im playing CC V at the moment. Sometime i group or select multiple units and order to fire into an area and not at a target. How do i then get them to stop? as far as i have figured out i have to individually select them and order them to Ambush (which takes to long!!!!!) or to multiple select them and order to ambush which is worse as they ambush in the same direction and you have to then individually select unitis and change there ambush direction!!
Can anybody plz help???
Thanks for looking D\-

Hold the order icon and try pressing the 'N' key.
By the order icon I mean the colored circle/dot.

Thanks for the tip though its the best yet!

Out of all units LOS. This will cancel their previous fire command and will automatically put those units on defend. (and then also units won't all face the same direction due to those mass-ambush commands you're currently using).
Simple click and drag the direct targeting dot out of their line of sight/fire. Units stop force firing and go on defend.
