MisterMark Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 i plotted a way point for my tank to go along the edge of the map and it just drove off and never came back during the whole minute of play. will it come back? it wasn't routed or panicked. help! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 It will probably show up as a surprise reinforcement in somebody else's game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 MisterMark, Sadly for you in a single battle, no, it won't. The board edge is a dangerous place where strange things can and do happen. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieseltaylor Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 As this subject has come up I am currently playing a relative noobie and the concept of deliberately driving units off had never crossed his mind. In fact he thought it would be impossible. I vaguely remember someone suggesting it was unsporting - a view I disagreed with quite strongly. It was found that you could create a few men casualties by firing at the exit point on the turn or following turn - I cannot quite recall the detail. Smart and undocumented design! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 dieseltaylor, I wasn't aware casualties could be caused as you describe, but you can be sure I'll keep this in mind in the future. On a possibly unrelated note, when you talk about "driving units off" do you mean the foe's or your own? I've done the latter on many occasions, especially in ROW where it's all about saving as many points as possible from the opponent's clutches. Am unaware I've ever forced someone off the board, but I suppose it could've happened. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieseltaylor Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I think the thread showed something like a couple or a few men killed. I don't recall vehicle damage. The tests were thorough enough to support the conclusion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kettler Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 dieseltaylor, Thanks! I think part of the explanation may lie in how the off board region is modeled. Believe it's treated as Clear, which certainly helps when shooting at exiting/exited units. Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
costard Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Is this a result of the "exit/enemy exit" feature? A boundary marked "exit" guarantees the points value of the units, other boundaries having no such reliability? I've been playing for six years and am still finding delight in the detail of the game. Well done BFC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
