Grognerd_Fogman Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 During the Setup phase for my second battle of an operation as an attacker, I was given 2 TRP's to plot. When trying to locate a suspect enemy position to place one I found I was able to run the move cursor over the terrain and find a foxhole location (no graphic just cursor text) well behind enemy lines even though my troops haven't even spotted it yet. Even if they could see that far they wouldn't be able to make out a foxhole in light woods anyway. I fear this is a glitch and if people can do this with a TRP plot then maybe all forms of targeting lines will reveal such terrain features before battles that should stay hidden until found.

Grognerd_Fogman Posted October 2, 2002 Author Share Posted October 2, 2002 Bumping to the top as I believe this to be important. Just think about it. In a defending battle against another player online, the attacker could just buy a TRP marker (if allowed) and scour the map on Setup looking for hidden foxholes and trenches thereby getting info unfairly.

L.Tankersley Posted October 2, 2002 Share Posted October 2, 2002 Was the foxhole you spotted one from a prior battle in the operation? If so maybe it's already flagged as "spotted" or "known" in some way. Generally speaking, in QBs I don't think the attacker can ever purchase TRPs or other fortifications so this isn't a huge concern. For built scenarios it could be an issue, though.

Grognerd_Fogman Posted October 2, 2002 Author Share Posted October 2, 2002 Nope, it wasn't. In fact that part of the map isn't even part of the first battle map in the operation. The operation is titled "A Long Days March". The second battle gives you two TRP's to plot. If you try and move one of the markers clear to the back of the map where the far town is, there'll be some light woods to the left of the road near one of the houses, if you run the move cursor over the ground you'll find the text showing "scattered trees" then "foxhole" in one location" I didn't try to find any others as I didn't want to spoil the battle for myself.
