Attack Move

Attack Move is a gameplay mechanic in Lambda Wars.

Uses
Attack Move is a basic command. All moveable units are capable of Attack Moving. The player can use this command by either selecting the icon in the HUD and then left clicking, or pressing Z and then left clicking. Any units that are Attack Moving will automatically attack any hostile units they see on the way to their target.

Advantages

 * When moving in on possibly dangerous spots, units will attack any threats while moving.
 * Units will attack immediately upon visual, removing the threat of having to completely stop before attacking.

Disadvantages

 * Retreating can't be done while Attack Move is selected, as units will begin to move and then immediately attack again.
 * Units do not always end up at the target spot, and may sometimes go too far out of the way to attack units.
