		THIS is parked here because Single-File fomations don't work well.

		=Single-File Formation=
		* Set up a single-file. Each agent will have a buddy that they'll always follow. If you were to deselect the team and select the current leader, all of the other agents will automatically wander after the leader. If you were to break the chain and pick an agent in the middle, that agent becomes the leader of his or her own smaller single file chain. All of the chained agents will keep following their lead unit until they are issued a move order.
		* This chaining can be used on soldiers in other teams. With clever use of chaining small single-file formations of agents from others squads together, you could move two squads about the field by only controlling one squad in formation, with each agent in a secondary squad attached to an agent in the first squad.
		* Chains of agents have an irregular movement pattern. See the next section for details. This irregularity affects any agent that is part of a chain. Even if the lead unit is walking in Formation mode, this movement irregularity continues to hold true until the agent is removed from a Single File chain.
		* While a very clever walking mode, this movement irregularity causes a small loss in control, thus making it less generally desirable to use.
		* This mode fails because of the awkward movement, but is a great way of micromanaging small groups. You can use it to make an agent from a different squad follow a member from another squad automatically. By walking and using aggressive, these units can walk around and automatically use reaction fire on any enemies attacking the leading unit.
		===Walking and running in Single File===
		* When walking in the single file mode, the agents may, for reasons unknown, vary their movement from a sluggish walk that is slower than the normal walk or may even sprint towards the nearest agent or (for the leading agent) way point in varying bursts. This is frustrating, therefore you cannot rely on them to walk or run normally when in single file.
		* If you must rush everyone to a particular location in a hurry, break out of single file and go to formation, and either move in formation or manually order your troops one at a time.
		===Combining Single File and Formation Mode===
		* By using single file mode, you can link agents from any group with agents with another. For example, you can get six agents from another squad individually attach themselves to members of the main squad of six agents by making the agents in the first squad the lead unit in mini single-file formations.
		* Once the units are attached, you can select your main squad and then go back to formation mode. Your main squad will now be able to move about in formation, and the soldiers in the other squad will automatically follow the main squad and basically hover around the primary squad. Note however that because the soldiers are made up of mini single-file formations, your leading units may have their speed affected as if they were in single file.
		* You can also make longer mini-chains, however this can lead to '''a big mess''' agents getting in each others' way.

	Excellent. I do play real-time only, so you would add turnbased tactics (above and beyond what the manual says) then its would make this page beome complete very quick. YOU ALL probably noticed that I have lots of 'Brain Dumps' with bad spelling and grammar. I hope you guys don't mind too much. I just want to fill this site out and make it a comprehensive resource for all. I'll have to play INTERCEPTOR to death so i can help out with the Intercepter parts.
