Quick Questions/ Quick Answers - HoI4

Didn't see one of these so here it is!

My questions are:

1. In the dev streams they mentioned the concept of "stickiness" when manually ordering a a unit that is already assigned to a battle plan. Was this implemented and if so is there a keyboard command I need to use? (I keep telling my units to not attack across a river but as soon as I have clicked they go straight back on the attack)

2. Units can support attack, I've seen them do it as part of a battle plan that has been activated. How can I manually tell them to do this?

I also would like to know how to support attack
Edit: Also I noticed some enemy units have a yellow exclamation mark and the tooltip says they are unable to find a valid point to the target. What is this supposed to mean? Is this a bug?

Stickiness is automatic. That means after they do your manual order they will automatically revert back to the BP.

You support an attack my manually directing a division to attack a province already under attack. They are then added to reserves and can join after a period of time, depending on width.

Click and drag the ship icons between fleets, but both fleets must be at same port.

Yes you can easily move ships between fleets. Drag and drop a fleet to another rfleet and a new window opens to allow this.

In your list of airbases, there is a checkbox to show allied bases.

How to support an attack and not move to distination province when fight is won and over with supported units (like it was possible in HOI3)?

No, but that's to avoid letting noobs screw themselves by doing so. It's much cheaper to create a new one by duplicating a similar one and switching out the necessary unit types.

You have to tag switch to them.
