Let's suppose you want to move the Sher to the final waypoint then have it pivot to face left towards the buildings in the distance.
First, the WRONG way-
Slap an arc on the tank pointing into enemy territory, then place the string of waypoints. You can't normally insert a 'Face' order while you've got an arc, that's why it's dulled out in the orders panel-
So that means at the end of the move the tank will be unable to pivot and will sit there for the rest of the turn suicidally presenting its weaker side armour to the enemy like this-
Not until the Order phase will you be able to cancel the arc ('Delete' key) to get your 'Face' option back, and can then issue the face order like this-
And bingo,at the end of the action phase it's at last facing the enemy, but it took 2 time-consuming action phases to do it-
Now the RIGHT way; the tank will move AND Face all in one action phase.
Slap on the arc, place your waypoints, right-click an empty area of screen, then left-click on the final waypoint to make it glow white. This will give you the 'Face' option back, so just point the blue Face line towards the buildings then start the action phase-
Voila!, the machine has moved and faced all in one turn..
(Summary- remember arcs won't allow facing unless you either kill the arc first, or click the final waypoint to attach a face order to it)
