need track replay Combined Arms: add single unit formation

[okopanja]

Problem: At the moment ground units placed into single group can not be moved from F10 individually. 
Attempt to plot the path from F10 leads to whole group being moved in pre-selected formation. Individual movement is possible only by jumping directly into the unit and then driving it manually, which is often impractical.

Why: achieve better tactical usage of units. E.g. if commanding larger group the default formations will place them in sub-optimal positions, thus often causing the units to be completely useless. E.g. you do not wish to place radar in a ground hole where it can not see anything.   

Proposed solution: Introduce additional formation called Individual, represented as a singl3e white dot in drop down menu. 
When this formation is selected and specific unit is selected, plotting the route shall be applied only to selected unit. The player should be able to plot each of the units individually without affecting already moving units. 

I hope this would be a low hanging fruit, as long as the order of formations and their corresponding identifiers are not changed.

Can we get simple yes or no?

please added a track replay example on Caucasus, make it as simple as possible to show the issue and we will take a closer look

thanks

@BIGNEWY this is a small feature request to solve a problem of commanding and placing complex groups, not really a bug. 

TRK would be counter productive, since you command all units if you PATH.

Difference here is to use this new formation type to move individual unit from group to exact position where you wish to have it.

understood, I will move to wish list. I can mention it to the team, but can not make any promises
