the fox Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 Hi there, So I've been playing CM for some time now, like a LOT - but you all figured that out (c: Anyway when building scenarios I have a problem diggin' units in. How, what, HELP??? Thanks in advance for your reply! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.Tankersley Posted August 10, 2000 Share Posted August 10, 2000 I don't think you specify entrenchment status when building the scenario (other than allowing vehicles to be dug in). It happens during play in the setup phase. Defending units that set up in appropriate terrain automatically get foxholes to set up in (personally, I'd like to see this as an option controlled by the defender; sometimes I don't want foxholes giving away my positions). ------------------ Leland J.

the fox Posted August 10, 2000 Author Share Posted August 10, 2000 I agree with your point there, LJT. I liked the way it was in Close Combat where you could actually SEE the holes and the facings of them when you were setting up. This "feature" should also be available during scenario-creation, especially when you want to tie certain units to a specific location on the map...

At least in full FOW the foxholes seems to be spotted about simultaneous with the troops in them. (But I might be wrong...) Cheers Olle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Macs Posted August 14, 2000 Share Posted August 14, 2000 I find i see foxholes giving away the enemy very early, usually if the unit is quite small tho such as snipers or AT teams. a ten man infantry team mostly appears at the same as the foxhole. i agree with optional foxholes tho as snipers and AT teams are usually the people you dont want seen for ambushes etc BM ------------------ "If you see a white plane it's American, if you see a black plane it's the RAF.
