Can someone tell me, what makes patrol and a move different? Sorry I am a low level player, but would like to know, isnt a move essentially the same as patrol? Marines run, the ones closer to blings shoot and the rest run away? | ||

Watch the video, patrol splitting to my understanding is the same as regular splitting, you take your marines and make separate groups and keep halfing your marines in an arc formation using the patrol command to receive greater surface area. | ||

How do you do it, I just manual split Patrol splitting involves using the patrol command on your marines so they move away from the blings, then as the blings come into range, small groups of marines will stop to engage, auto splitting your marines. For added effect, you can manually split the marines further away from the blings to get a greater spread. | ||

The only difference is that the marines do not run in between the two patrol nodes, they just a-move to the specific location. And yes, I've had some success using this method too. I think this plus individual control of small squadrons of marines which takes practice is ideal. | ||
