[Warning incoming Humble Dexterer]

I noticed the right mouse button isn't used on the BattleMap :

Add select options :
- Click right button to select a Mech.
- Double click right button on Mech to select it's Lance.
- Click right button on empty space to select/deselect all friendly mechs.
- Draw rectangle with right button to select all friendly mechs inside that rectangle

Add grouping options :
- Use SHIFT to add friendly mechs to the current group selection.
- Use CTRL + #Number to save a group
- Use #Number to select a saved group

Using a selected group :
- Left click to issue the order : Attack this position
- Right click to issue the order : Defend this position
- Different groups can receive different orders, and each player will only hear his own orders.
- Once a Mech receives an order, it is deselected and can't receive another order right away.
- Mechs that can't receive new orders yet, are greyed out.

Rewards :
- A reward is received, when damaging an enemy that is inside the "Attack Position".
- A reward is received, when damaging an enemy from the "Defend Position".

Abuse :
- Individual Mechs can only receive ~one order per minute.
- The Company Commander can't issue orders to himself. So can't claim rewards either.
- Players can toggle their "receive order" radio on/off, to stop receiving orders.
- A setting option allows you to start games with your "receive order" radio either switched on or switched off. Player audio chat is not affected by the on/off state of the "receive order" radio.

Wow, I'm surprised how anyone else haven't thought of that. That's a great idea!
