newbee question, red and yellow lines

[brabo]

Hi,

I am new here, and I have a question about the game.

When the battle is going on, and I click on a unit I get soms yellow and red lines between teh selected unit and enemy units around it. Is it correct that the red connection lines represent the units I fire on, and the yellow lines are the enemy units that fire on me??

greetz,

That's correct! Red is outgoing, and yellow is incoming fire.

...and IIRC, a thick red line is a unit you're exchanging fire with.

Yep the red is out going while the yellow is incoming from enemy units at the one that you have clicked on. If both are targeting one another then you ought to notice that the red line of the outgoing is slightly more pronounced. You can check this by clicking on the enemy unit and seeing what it is actually targeting, not doubt you!

There are also light orangy yellow 'area targeting' firing lines that arn't aimed at specific enemy units but at a point hopefully near where you might suspect an enemy unit to be, especially say where you are only seeing an enemy symbolic star or cross. If an enemy unit is firing 'area fire' near to your unit it does not show up as a yellow line when you are clicked on your unit in this situation. The enemy unit might choose for its own tactical (Tac AI) reasons to directly target (switch to a red or yellow targetted firing line depending on which perspective you are looking at it through) upon your unit at some point during the turn. However if you are playing against the CPU opponent AI you shouldn't have to worry about area fire coming from the enemy, it doesn't employ it except for with artillery battery spotters because it has to.

And white targeting lines for smoke, which a tank might do on it's own in the middle of a turn in order to protect itself from a newly discovered anti-tank gun, enemy tank or some other threatening surprise.
