markshot Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Whenever, I get a nice solid contact which deserves later attention and probably isn't moving. I take a screenshot. Is that bad? (It means you can direct fire or mortar a location without a contact.) Now, once you have that contact, like an MG position if you place a MOVE NODE, you determine the gunners LOS (by doing reverse LOS) and save a lot scouting (ie. recon by reverse fire). I will include two screenshots. So, what is the judges' ruling? (single play) Just using the tools The Maker gave us or gamey and I shall never go down as a great battlefield commander? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commanderski Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I never thought of taking a screenshot but think that's a good idea. I wouldn't consider it gamey. In real life if you saw something that wasn't moving and a possible threat and either you moved to where you can't see it now or it may have moved slightly you still know the general area so you would be able to fire on that possible target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combatintman Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Fine by me - you are concurrently a squad leader/section commander all the way up to the highest level of command in the scenario - at the higher levels of command someone would be plotting sightings on the map and logging sighting/contact reports. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c3k Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I find it far simpler just to use a sharpie on the monitor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
