In JA2 it's possible to assign mercs to travel to locations / trains militia etc - and THEN hit the "Play" button (green circle) for the time to start. However, I noticed in JA3 when you assign a team to travel or assign them to do operations and click "Close" the timer starts automatically, which I find really annoying. You cannot coordinate precisely and always "waste" a few minutes/hours if you don't notice it.
I am new to JA3 and I was wondering if I am doing something wrong, is there a hotkey to prevent this?
Help is appreciated!
