let's answer point 1) of clever Jaresh: same team member on the square where the MG is left but no picking up.. why? wait a few turns?

you never know, bugs get big these days...

Hi, Had a MG team whose gunner died and vanished from the map. Later on I brought back the team to the spot where he died as I noticed his barely used MG lying on the floor. I placed the team on the spot for a while but it didn't seem to want to pick the weapon. I've called the optician but it still doesnt work... Any guess?

Hi, I've got a Rattled team stuck in a jeep for the last 10 turns. the unit icon remains faded, stopping me from ordering them any movement... is it a bug?

What about bazooka ammo? I placed one unit with zook without ammo on same square with another who had no zook but zook ammo. They don't seem to exchange. In manual it says that they need to belong to same formation. I'm not clear what is a 'formation': team, squad, bataillon? Has anyone managed to succeed this? Thanks.

For me it was more around vehicles in particular the hybride types such as halftracks or 6 or 8 wheel recon armored cars. I need to test them with walls in particular..

nice to see the debate developing.. For me the colour coding - and this has been expressed elsewhere - should reflect not only the LOS but also LOF for both normal and smoke ammo. It's blue: I can fire, it's grey: I can fire but have some hindrances on the way (like say for example foliage..). Like that I know whether I'll waste ammo, do collateral damages to my nearby boys, etc. The 'reverse slope' info now that i understand it fully is good enough for me.

Okidoki I'm clear. I'll pay more attention to the target line details..

ouch, are you sure regarding the LOS from the waypoint?? this would mean that you do not actually know whether you have LOS or not as you plot your waypoints on the map (the object being precisely to gain or not a LOS). and, regarding the height you says that once the word Reverse Slope disapears there is no risk to have a possible enemy (it's too high)?

Hi, thanks for your response. I understand the principle of crest very well but had assumed that the end of the blue line was giving all possible targets, whatever their height in respect of their position to the crest. I thought that it was the purpose of the blue part.. OK then... Of course you can see a higher point by raising your barrel but then from what you say, the target line doesn't give you any info on a target point in the air, it gives you info on a target point on the ground.. OK... so, this then begs the question: how do I determine that target point in air? because the line will simply continue to go pink up to the end of the map? do I have to get a horizontal view at ground level, while I play with the target line to do an estimation?? not workable.. thanks anyhow in enlightening me on that point. that may save my butt in future situations.

Hi the only thing that changed is that I blew off the house next to the Pz VG. I expected the explosion to bring enough dust in the air to block his view for a while (now I'm getting demanding ). but the house was not blocking the LOS to my M4. so destroying it shouldn't affect the outcome. note that the line is blue up to the road where it turns pink. it doesn't get pink besides the house.

thanks it's a good thread with clear examples!

Hi, Has anyone summarised what the terrain does to troops and vehicles?? I cannot find anything in manual. I want basic stuff: - is it possible to cross hedges, walls or fences by what type of units, with what possible damages to tracks, immobilization risks, etc. ta

Hi, Has any one experience non-reciprocal LOS? After checking my LOS to my opponent's tank and finding out that I was fine where I was, e.g. I had no LOS to him (he has a Pz VG and I have M4s...), I decided to stay where I was and fire some Smoke elsewhere. Well, guess what, he fired at me and destroyed both my M4 in one single hit each. No bocage involved - noone moved and the PzVG was sitting on top of a height on the edge of a flat part (a Crest situation in ASL). I'm loving it!..:confused:

didn't know. i'll check it out. It might help.
