New to the game and I have a noob question

[Impossibum]

I just bought the game and I'm getting my butt handed to me, I'm trying to utilise the sapper because he seems like he'd be pretty darn useful. My question is, how do you rotate the sapper's buildings to the desired rotation before you tell him to build them?

Another question, could anyone point me to a youtube guide pointing out some handy tips for not being such a huge noob? Thanks.

to rotate the sapper's building you have to press Left Alt and mouse wheel.
we advice you strongly to read the manual.
this game ins't so easy as people think :)

Thanks, I was trying to keep ants out with a sandbag wall but apparently they just walk right over them anyway. Back to the drawing board

I think it would be better to have it be controlled when you click the placement button, if you hold down the mouse, it will spin in place. Sort of like how they do it in command & conquer. That would help a ton on time

yes, it is a good idea too.

honestly the 4 things that you cannot live without when using sappers are the barbed wire fields, the BW shelters, the Czech Hedgehogs, and last but not least, the jumping mine. Barbed wire kills everything, the czech hedgehogs make sure land units cant hit yours, and jumping mines shred flying units.

good tactic :)

Thanks! It works well for me.
