The search didn't turn up anything relevant (and seems a bit b0rked).
It would actually not be too bad if you could remove units you've already placed, to place them somewhere else.
Sometimes it happens you misclick (who would want an airfield _on_ London, eh Ice Cream ) and then this feature would come in handy.
It should be only allowed before defcon 4, as when radar comes into play and you can make out installations, it shouldn't be the point that the other party can just go about moving them (or those radars!! ).

I can agree with this, I change my mind often in Defcon 5 and in going back and forth between different units sometimes I place something, like a single battleship, on the complete opposite side of my territory I intended because I'm distracted by settling on a strategy.

Personally, I'd like a completely different set up system, one with ::server-config:: min of realtime that allows you to drag-and-drop *all* your units, including the fighters, bombers, and nukes. But, failing that, I'll agree with this for two reasons:
1) Sometimes, esp on laggier connections, either a) the "click" won't register or b) only a portions of the packets will go through, resulting in awkward fleet placement.
2) It sometimes happens that you place a unit only to realize you've left no room for some other unit -- like a radar/airfield pair on Iceland or the like.

Thing is, I don't really place much before defcon 4 anyway except in those 1v1s where we're a long way away from each other. I do still think it's a good idea though, has a lot more legs than 99% of the stuff that gets posted in here.
Because who hasn't decided to place a Feud setup and accidentally put 6 radars around a single silo?

Heh. Me, for one, but it won't be long now you've mentioned it.
Heh. I've actually done it on purpose.
What madness drove me to such a rash action you ask?
