Ground Unit formations?

[Andurula]

Can I set a ground unit to move in formation or do the ground units in a group always follow each other in a straight line?  I haven't found any option for formations in the mission editor unlike aircraft which have several formation options under the advanced waypoint actions.  I can start them line abreast but when they move they always move out in single file.

Just select WP, then change type to something else than "Off road"

In addition to what @dark_wood said, make sure to set the desired formation in their initial/starting waypoint (SP).

 

Also combining certain specific units might cause bugs:

Perfect! Thanks.
