I disagree that disembarking a crew to do some recon is gamey. This happened IRL, I have read of this happening numerous times. Of course, I don't remember exactly where I saw this...but I have!
That first game of CMBO I played was something else, the excitement level was off the charts. It was so much more realistic than anything I had played before. I'm a bit jaded now of course but there are still moments when you just say "wow that was cool!"

After reading the review and looking at the screen shots on the Matrix site I am going to pass. There are just too many units to fool around with, you can't even see the map! I want the game to do well though just so we have more WEGO options...
I had the same problem but at a hedgerow. Some guys went through the gap and others did not. I solved the problem by breaking up the squad and giving the stragglers their own orders. Then they moved ahead no problem...
