Spotting, LOS, and LOF explanation


Recommended Posts

Since squads are allowed to occupy multiple action spots (when moving), and take (correctly!) incoming fire while doing so, why do they (apparently) not spot from those multiple action points themselves, but only from their icon action point?

Known bug or design decision?

Best regards,

Rollstoy, if a single squad occupies both tile A and B then the action spots of tiles A and B are checked for the spotting ability of the individuals occupying each respective tile. That's the theory.

Practise is that on occasion the perfectly reasonable system above goes OMGWTFBBQ and gets your* soldiers killed. But it is not a fundamental flaw that messes things up at the basic level. It's a good system misbehaving in a noticeably way at the edges. Charles just needs his tank topped up with Red Bull, that's all.

*Odd how no-one is ever killing the enemy because of this bug, always it gets the players guys killed. Yet the AI works to the same rules. What is sometimes ascribed as a bug is, I suspect, ascribed to superior tactical prowess in other instances. :D
