noob Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I usually split squads into two halves using the Assault Team or Split Team functions, when i place these split teams into foxholes some troops do not spread evenly amongst the four foxholes but bunch together in one as shown in the screenshot below: The front two foxholes contain an 11 man squad split using the Split Teams function, the back two using the Assault Team function. Would it be possible to fix it so the troops spread evenly amongst the four foxholes ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeeDog Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 This is off the top of my head so I could be wrong on this, but ISTR that 2 soldiers sharing one foxhole is actually more accurate to contemporary training and doctrine -- that is, when digging in, soldiers usually have a "foxhole buddy." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broadsword56 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Also, I find the face command used multiple times can tweak the way the team situates itself in a foxhole group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 My question is whether the way the troops use foxholes is actually abstracted. So, it may LOOK like the troops are in them a certain/weird way, but the system calculates it as if they are all using the foxholes the same way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, if that's the case it would be good to get it confirmed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point, however there are three men in the bottom left foxhole and four in the bottom right foxhole 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 IRRC, it's abstracted for the most part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stikkypixie Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 IRRC, it's abstracted for the most part. Are you sure? I think it's only the cover that is provided by the foxholes that is abstracted, not the positions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to tell in the picture. Yes; four is definitely too many, and three probably shouldn't happen under most circumstances, either. BFC, fix er do sumfink, yadda, yadda. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is hard to tell from the picture, but the squads are 11 man squads split into one group of 6 and one of 5, so with that in mind you can work out the distribution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
