PvK Posted July 16, 2000 Share Posted July 16, 2000 Ok, I've spent about an hour reading other bocage-related discussion on the board, but need a simple game-mechanics-only answer here. Does bocage provide any protection vs. fire to spotted units in it, and if so, how much compared to light woods or woods, or sitting behind a hedge? In other words, in this game, can bocage be used as a defensive position to put infantry in, or is it a dangerous obstacle that is a bad place to have your troops?

MH Posted July 16, 2000 Share Posted July 16, 2000 I can't answer precisely, but it doesn't appear to be much...if any protection. I usually stay away from the stuff unless I'm planning on going right on through it. Only way I know to determine the exact number is to set up a quick battle, stick the enemy in the bocage and then open the battle checking the % protection and hit chance. Not much help I know, but historically most troops didn't particularly care to have their ass hanging out while stuck in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PvK Posted July 16, 2000 Author Share Posted July 16, 2000 Ya, I was hoping they could set up positions in the bocage and use it as a fortified wall, but it looks like it can't be used that way. Maybe if they started the scenario there on defense and then they'd have foxholes there. Thanks, PvK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Babra Posted July 16, 2000 Share Posted July 16, 2000 I hate the crud, no matter who I'm playing. It takes troops an eternity to hack through a few metres of it, and they usually get their asses capped doing it. ------------------ It's a mother-beautiful bridge and it's gonna be THERE.
