Back Up
« on: May 09, 2011, 09:35:31 pm »
This is a fairly simple request: give us an option to, when ordering a soldier to move to a location behind them,  have them walk backwards instead of turning around and walking over there, allowing them to reposition without us then having to spend a TU turning them back around.  Not sure if this is possible to implement, but it would be extremely useful.

Like crouching, walking backwards should take more TU then walking forwards. I can see some limited tactical use for walking backwards, but anything farther than a grid or two away should cost more TUs then walking + turning around.

Agreed.
