Hi folks - can someone help me figure out how to use FFD properly to get ships in orbit to support ground forces? Here's my situation:
- I have FFD units in my battalion formations.
- I have ships in orbit with the "Provide orbital bombardment support" movement order
- I have ground forces currently attacking enemy forces
- The ships in orbit appear in the drop-down menu next to the Assign OBS button on the ground forces screen
BUT:
- when I select a battalion formation, select a ship from the dropdown menu, and click Assign OBS I get an error message saying "Ground support aircraft or orbital bombardment ships can only be assigned to aground unit formation that has sufficient forward fire direction units."
This happens with all battalions and all ships. If I select a formation that does not have FFD, the Assign OBS button does not appear, so the game is clearly recognizing that they are there. Does anyone have any advice?
