BOBII uses Radio Commands to permit the Player to get information from the AI and command the AI. Some Radio Cammands are indpendent and some must work with the AI. The problem with many AI attacking a single enemy was solved with a option permitting the player to select the max number of AI that are permitted to engage the same enemy.

Here is a list of the BOBII Radio Cammands taken from the User manual:
