Thought I had it there, since thegame hadn't crached in about 12 turns, but ...
ANYWAY... Can the Stand/Crouch reserve button reserve one additional TU for direction change? Maybe it was just chance, but I was doing a lot better at getting soldiers to end up facing the way I wanted them to in 2.2.1. In struggling through these battlescapes, I've used the crouch reserve, but sometimes I still end up with someone who won't play ball and faces in the wrong direction. Without any TU's to change their direction except of course to remove the reaction fire.
