unit grouping, new patch

[Grath]

i had seen someone mention that more unit grouping capabilities are needed, and a reply said something like 'wait for the next patch." does that mean the next patch has it included? it gets so unbelievably annoying to move around 50 units, especially for me cuz i have little time to play in the first place. i dont see that it would be hard to implement, the code is already there for armies, just modify uit so all the rules for normal combat in a stack apply, only allow a group to be formed in a city between 2 units, others can join the group anywhere, if you move a stack around and the contained units dont have the same movement points, the slower ones should get left behind the group, same goes for combat, if you attack with a group, one unit attacks, if it wins and moves into the next square, its out of the group. when you right click on the stack, the entire group should have a separate entry, like in an army, so you can easily select the whole group or individual units, also this listing should not count as an extra unit, unlike the army where you waste space on boats with the leader. did i mention that armies are next to useless? heh. oh yeah, possibly most important is you must be able to name your group like a real military division when you form it, ie 3rd armored, 101st airborne (although i dont think grouping paratroopers would work too well unless you can airdrop the whole group at once) in any case, im spending way way way too much time simply moving my units around one by one and im losing a massive amount of sleep. lemme know what you think of this, why it wont work, why they havent implemented it already, why i should use the shift key, all that stuff. later
