Global Triumph

I am starting this thread to talk about things that this game really needs in order to both shorten the amount of time that it takes to play.

I apologize ahead of time for anything here that has been talked about before.  I don't have time to read through all of the other postings, etc.

#1)  Need a better way to cancel air attacks or an easy way to re-order them.  It wouldn't be so bad except for the fact that you have your 2 AM generals....or your 4:45 AM generals.  Given the flow of the game there is never going to be any way to stop someone from making their moves and creating their new units 15 minutes before the cycle.  What happens to me is that I make my moves which include my air attacks.  Then...when I check later...my opponent has created even MORE new ships, land unit, etc that they had previously.  At that point I need to cancel my air attacks or re-order them.  What you have to do is jot down the unit #s and then go find your air bases.  The you have to find the attack from that airbase and cancel it.  On small maps it isn't a big deal.  On large maps, where you strategically want to spread out your air attacks, it might take a half an hour just to find, cancel, and reset 10 air attacks because some "midnight McArther" decided to make some more new ships and put them out in front of ones you already had attacks set on.  The biggest reason that this issues needs fixed is so that players can't take advantage the fact that they know that it's difficult to do and it's therefore probable that if they do, indeed, create the new ship out in front of other ships it will likely shoot down air attacks.

#2)  Need a command to MASS cancel attacks.  I don't feel that any explanation is needed here.  I've looked through the shortcut command and don't see anything like this.  So..."unit/group cancel attack" is a must.

#3)  In relationship to item #1....you might consider simply making the game engine a bit more intelligent.  Mistakes get made is combat all of the time in terms of attacks that get ordered that must be cancelled due to new intel.  If you did have a boatload of air attacks headed over the top of some warships...the 1st wave would get shot at..but the next waves would fly right around them provided they had RANGE ( think fuel)  from which to do it.  Got range...then fly around....don't have range...then return to base.  Simple.
