Formation Move

When applied to a group of units, formation move works exactly like a normal movement command except that the units will attempt to reassemble back into the same formation they were in when the command was issued.

This can be used to arrange units in a specific way (such as placing durable tanks up front, and putting ranged and fragile units in the back), and then preserve this layout when the units reach their destination.

Formation move does not, however, cause the units to actually move in formation. It also does not keep the units together while they are moving; the faster units will still arrive at the destination sooner than the slower units. The units only regain their formation at their destination, not while they are moving.
