Erwin Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 In a current scenario I have a team with only one man left in it and I have been able to issue an ASSAULT order to him. It's hard to say what is intended or not in CMBN, so if anyone wants the file I have saved it. Otherwise, no biggy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medex Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 yes I thought maybe you would tell us he went over to the GS message boards and gave those naysayers a good shellacking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1966 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I want to know what happens if you actually give him the assault order. Does he give himself covering fire? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be the lone assaulter was a remnant of a previously executed assault command with the remaining squad members beeing wiped out during the process? So that squad could never automatically recombine to conclude the assault move and thus the assault possibility remained active. Who knows... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 That's actually a pretty good explanation. I'll check if the ASSAULT command remains available in future turns for this guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Squads do not consolidate teams following losses, so you could have a squad with 3 one-man teams. Assault is simply a movement command that bounds the available teams. It does not analyse the composition of teams or the context of the order. Or do you mean you have a squad that has been reduced to a single man but still has the assault command available? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Yes, I know that a three or two man squad can be issued an assault order IF the single men would have been part of the separate teams that make/made up the squad. (I have a couple of those types of squads running around as well.) In my example here, I have one solitary survivor of a single team (am not sure if there are any other surviving members of his squad anyplace else on the map) who I was able to issue an ASSAULT order to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
