ok..two things i dont get..how do you unpack machine squads?....currently they stand there with their machine gun on their shoulder and dont unpack it for use till they detect enemy soldiers within range..by which time its too late cause they get shot dead....

also how do you open gates..some maps have flags behind gated yards...currently the only way i can get in is to flatten them with a tank..but i see other guys go straight through the gates..so how do u open them also..

also is their a way to force fire?..suppose i want to kill my own man to use the numbers for something else..other than send him on a suicide mission can i get one of my own men to force fire on him?

MG teams: Hold right click and place them in the direction you want them to aim

So right click drag

Gates: Blow them open

Forece fire: Attack ground command
