Will be using the excellent COCAT software and CMMC rules. See www.combatmission.com CMMC for more on those. - Adam<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Oh geez that sounds great. I would LOVE to join in.

MrSpkr Posted April 15, 2001 Share Posted April 15, 2001 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Londoner: I agree m8, intel' is critical. However, in my experience, on the defence there is no need for this recon/screening force as you suggest, unless your were defending on a heavily wooded map. As long as you have at least one unit in a 2nd floor building or on a hill, you can get the gist of any large scale enemy movement without having to sacrifice anything.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I disagree with this strategy. If your opponent has half a brain, as soon as he realizes that there are two story buildings with lines of sight to his units in or behind your set up area, he will concentrate on levelling those buildings. This denies you needed intelligence AND reduces the risk of artillery barrages to him. The best way is still to have snipers or half-squads on a forward line. They can run like heck before the enemy can overwhelm them (the withdraw command is wonderful for this) and provide you lots of good intel. BTW M8 - I LOVE the Puppchen idea. I may have to try that next time out! MrSpkr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
