I really appreciate everyone's input so far. I'll go for general suppressing fire when I try it again later. There's also that sneaky scout team in the forest that the tutorial doesn't mention.

I get my MG and mortar to the highlighted spots and am deploying them, but just can't spot anything. I'll try it again later when I'm less frustrated.

I've spent a couple of hours now trying to follow the tutorial for the third scenario in the first tutorial campaign. I move my mortar, machine gun, and HQ up to the Base of Fire objective and deploy. My problem is that I can't get LOS to anything on Hill 2014 from this base of fire. I might get lucky and one of the other squads will get LOS to a unit on the hill, but I'll move my HQ and MG all over the place and just cannot get LOS. I've been shuffling these units around the hill that my base of fire is on, but I just can't get a target. This is frustrating.
Also, do I need the HQ to spot for my mortar if I can get LOS for the mortar team?

I wonder if it has anything to do with the mac.com or me.com address: I have noticed some sites do not recognize them as valid domains.
I used a Gmail address and didn't receive the email either. It was not caught by the spam filter. The blanket response that it is a problem with the user or his email is somewhat offensive. I, for one, am not entirely stupid and know how to use Gmail.

Thank you very much!
Trouble with third mission of first tutorial campaign
in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy
Posted
I followed this advice and got great LOS to the trenches. The mortar took out one of the machine gun teams off the bat, and suppressing fire from the MG was so effective that all but one of the enemy infantry squads had surrendered by the time my infantry began to assault the hill.
I am disappointed with how sloppy this tutorial mission was. When I first read through all of the tutorial sections in the manual, I was impressed with how it taught not only the interface, but also basic tactics. To not have the actual missions in game jibe with what is written in the manual is a let down.
