  1. flamingknives is correct. The major difference in training doctrine involves using reflex in shooting an enemy silhouette. Prior to this training doctrine soldiers were trained in rifle marksmanship with simple round targets. When they came up against troops they knew how to shoot straight but had to choose to use that skill to kill. Under modern training it has been instilled as reflex to shoot at a silhouette when it pops up. The soldier is then left to deal with the consequences of these actions, whether he (or she) is psychologically equipped or not. This is why there is such a higher occurrence of PTSD in modern soldiers. According to most studies about 15% of soldiers are capable of killing voluntarily, the rest generally intentionally miss or even just don't fire and often hand off their ammo to those who will kill, and therefor run out of ammo faster.
  2. The only problem I have with this system is that Company level commanders in many armies had a great deal of freedom to act without orders from above. It just doesn't seem to me that a company commander for most armies would just hunker down in the absence of directions from Bat. (With the possible exception of the Germans who regularly did absolutely nothing if they didnt have orders)
  3. So, I am sad. I really want to make a bridge over water that is basicly the same level as the surrounding ground. There is really no way to do this?
  4. Thanks for the info guys, I was hoping that the method you suggested was not the way. I dont like how it works. Anyway, I guess you work with what you got. Thanks Joshua
  5. Ok, I am a complete noob at making scenarios/battles. I have tried and tried, but I cannot find a way to get bridges to meet up with roads. They seem to just end out in the air. I even tried to raise the elevation fo the ground at the end of the bridge, but this either left a gap between the bridge and the road, or if I ran the road under the bridge it was there running all the way to the end of the square under the bridge. Hopefully there is a better way to do this. Thanks for any help.
