Father Ted Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 In a recent scenario one of my HQ units spotted an SPG on move one. Not having any armour myself, but a fair amount of off-map arty, I directed the unit to hit the Marder (I believe it was) with an 81mm barrage. During the the next few moves, some of my guys popped smoke and it interrupted the LoS, but the barrage landed where I wanted it to, so I was quite confident I'd disabled the enemy vehicle. Later on a Marder popped up in a slightly different place (on a line between original observer and first SPG). At the end of the game, there was no evidence of a damaged SPG in amongst the mortar craters form my barrage. What I want to know is: does the FoW extend to units placing spotted elements in the wrong place? Or was it more likely that that the original had escaped the barrage and managed to move without being seen? I was playing on "Warrior" difficulty SPOLIER This was the "La Hamelet" mission from Road to Monteburg SPOILER 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be may guess, it's dangerous to assume you've knocked something out when you don't see it happen. P 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every level of FoW before is depicted by the <?> contact markers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Correct, there is no FoW for the 3D model. If you see it, that's really where it is at that particular time. The FoW Icons are the only things which can show false locations. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
