is the Target approach to check beforehand the LOS from some way points accurate? My tanks have been several times been hit when moving to some way point, typically inside or behind some woods, even though the LOS line was pink or red to the area where the enemy shot came from. And the shot came from 900 m or more. It happened several times for instance in CMRT Clash of the Titans Redux.
Anything I am missing?
No it is a guide only, your TacAI decides when he has full contact or not.

Urban 2 introduced indulgences to recruit for the crusades. Participate and you are forgiven for all the pilfering and killing. Naturally corruption is very seductive. Indulgences were challenged during the reformation. European wars and politics are unthinkable without the religions. Most believers are normal decent people but it certainly inspires the crooks.

We did not start wars because “the church” since the Crusades,
The English Civil War, in Germany thirty-year war and the Dutch and the Spanish eighty-year war. All offshoots from the reformation. Napoleon put an end to it by taking the crown out of the hands of the pope and crowning himself. Religious wars were still going strong till the end of the eighteenth century. Then we had Northern Ireland.

Emptying our raccoon churches
I agree it is true. We are creating a void and people with radical ideas will fill it. Meditating is cool praying the rosary is not. Basically very similar but young people experiment with other ideas. Religions can inspire people to commit absurdities it is a danger. Like the Stalingrad movie, Gott mit uns or in God we trust are popular slogans.

Yep facts as it suits you. $22000 -$4000 she is $18000 better off. In Dutch it is called aftrekken (subtraction) aka masturbation.

I thought that Manuel came from Barcelona. He worked for a Bed and Breakfast Inn (Fawlty Towers) in England.

An article worth reading, as are the comments. The West still doesn't realize what's at stake. And now we have something else to concentrate on. Bloody Middle East again.

Get the AI a little better in attacking.

You don't need to be in C2 to call in a Fire Mission you even don't need a radio. The unit in this case a mortar unit needs a radio. Somehow any HQ is always in Communication with the FDC.
-
The Mortar needs only a radio nearby belonging to his C2 if the Platoon HQ is gone the Company HQ can take over if he is nearby. The Fire Direction Centre is outside the C2 on the map you need a radio to be in contact with the fire direction centre. Otherwise use the 60 mm in the direct fire mode.

These dots have nothing to to with RADIO though..
Company is mostly in contact with his Regiment or Battalion by Radio if it is the case a Radio Icon will pop up. Lots of people call it radio buttons in other graphics not only in Combat Mission. In your screenshot he is in distant visual contact I don't know or that is good enough to be in contact with the fire direction centre. US HQs have Radios which must be nearby I keep them inside four action squares. But the C2 is otherwise irrelevant. I just checked it out a Sherman HQ with a different C2 could call Mortar Support because the Mortar has a Radio nearby.

But in a similar way you can use dead soldiers as ammo dumps too.
The leader maybe a casualty but if his RTO is not they keep the radio contact or a 2xo is elevated as an HQ.

How far away was the deceased platoon hq from the mortar team ?
Easy to find out the game will show out of contact or the way it is shown above he is within C2 with his HQ

The Green Dots are the C2 artillery can be called by most HQ doesn't matter or they are in C2. If another unit call for the mortar your mortar HQ needs to have a radio and be nearby. With US no problem they have the best Radio Communication in WW2. Even if you are in vocal C2 you need a radio for units outside your C2.

No...these ones...
Yes these are called radio buttons but different people give them different names. You don't need them for Artillery Missions. The one you are using is the US 60 mm if I am not mistaken. The first option is direct fire indirect if it is not possible. In your case I can't read it ok you have less than 20 shells so indirect is not really an option.

That is...It does not show what the individual team is 'personally' in contact with...Atleast thats the way i understand the green dots...
As long as the Mortar section has a radio any HQ with or without radio can call for a mission. Don't ask me how but it is the way it is. One example is Hammer's Flank first battle. The Mortar FO unit doesn't have a radio but is still able to call indirect fire missions. I found he needs to be really close to the enemy unit you wish to target. I found two hundred metres for him to be effective. Possibly it is modelled he is using his own position as a TRP by using a hypothetical flare. Having him close to his Regiment HQ with radio and use the FO like a US or British FO is not much use. I had the best result by calling the mission 200 metres from his position. The Green Dots I think you mean the Radio Buttons in the Command Panel.

Having played the original trio of games, some 20 years ago, I vaguely remember something about BFC having given ownership/copyrights/distribution rights of scenarios to players who designed them. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this, or elaborate - and, is this still true for the newer games?
Typically, of course, publishers/developers reserve all rights to anything made for their games, so I'm wondering what BFC's policy is in regard to user-made scenarios, maps, and so on.
Yes I think that is correct. You buy the rights to play the game and make scenarios. I think it stops people selling their keys to use the game.

If they can hit you, you should be able to hit them. Which is not always true. The story of David and Goliath is the oldest example of this. David hits his adversary in the eye and that made Goliath to lose his head. OODA he couldn't Observe, Orient, Decisions neither could he Act. We experience the same with the TacAI from the players end.
