Ken Talley Posted November 3, 1999 Share Posted November 3, 1999 Are units using the "move" command less susceptable to fire than those using the "run" command? Are moving units assumed to be taking greater advantage of defensive terrain? I guess I am curious about the increased danger of taking casualties by having my troops run. Or is fatigue the only drawback to running? Thanks, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted November 3, 1999 Share Posted November 3, 1999 Runnning = totally out in the open and only SMGs firing back. Moving = tactical movement and firing back properly.. ------------------ ___________ Fionn Kelly Manager of Historical Research, The Gamers Net - Gaming for Gamers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted November 3, 1999 Share Posted November 3, 1999 Running also means that spotting ability is reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCrawler Posted November 3, 1999 Share Posted November 3, 1999 It also means that you get from point A to point B quicker. I've noticed that I take less casualties if I use the run command to move from cover to cover, to cross streets, etc. Just like the real world... ------------------ Jon Johnson Steel Lightning Productions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scott Clinton Posted November 3, 1999 Share Posted November 3, 1999 I would like to interject "SNEAKING" into this thread if I may. Fionn and I are having a little discussion regarding this off-line. It would seem to me that units sneaking are VERY loath to return fire even at enemy units less than 20m away, AFTER they have taken heavy losses. To add to this they also have not been 'going to ground' unless pinned or shaken. But ,I really have not played enough to analyze this in detail (why I emailed Fionn). I was wondering what have you guys noticed when you are 'sneaking' a unit and an enemy pops up in LOS or fires on them? ------------------ The Grumbling Grognard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Oberst Posted November 3, 1999 Share Posted November 3, 1999 Strangely enough, I have yet to use the Sneak command. More along the lines of cover file - maneuver - cover fire. I suppose I might use it more once I start playing the defending side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
