Thank you Schobbejak. So the "Serie" GUI-button is the one to do with what I described above?
What a HUGE time-saver that is going to be! About half of my time used to spent just racing from one squad mate to the other to ensure that they weren't idle, or to just redirect their weapons' firing arc 20 degrees in any one direction to ensure that they were properly suppressing a desired range of targets. Now that I can "link" one action with another, I can relax a bit more.
Thanks again!
