Ok, someone was asking how to conduct battles in Anacreon 2.1. Here
is what I've learned through trial and error, plus a close reading of
the manual, particularly the section dealing with the Ministry of War
menu item.
1. Choose "attack" from the Ministry of War Menu.
2. You will be confronted with the group configuration screen. The
grid is a triangle with one group on the right, centered on three
groups in the next column, centered by 5 groups in the left-most
column. You begin on the group at the right point of the
triangle. Use your arrow keys to move from group to group, with Say
All (or the WE or HAL equivalent) on. While on a group, you may hit
the S key for split or the J key to join it up with other groups of
the same kind of ship.
3. After you have your groups configured the way you want, hit
enter. Now you are on the battle screen. Again, your groups are set
up in the triangle and you highlight them with the arrow keys. Hit
the letter T to cycle through the available targets at a given
orbital level. You will have to use your Jaws or other exploring
cursor to find out what the opposition is, and to click the "engage"
or "retreat" buttons. (JFW doesn't report them as standard buttons,
but you left-click on them anyway. You may also hit the letter A to
tell a highlighted group to advance, or R to tell it to retreat or S
to tell it to stand by. Remember that you must move your transports
or jump transports with infantry forward to land the infantry on the
surface of the planet. Having done this, the transport group
disappears and becomes infantry.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
