Hi ,
So some things I have not been able to find as yet in the manual , or stuff I have seen mentioned in the below threads but not quite grokked the essence of
1. Explanation of the 3 dots on bottom of unit icons as well as the meaning of color changes
2. Wotan mentioned in a recent thread that with detail set to 6 and low FOW settings, that during firing in combat , the LOS screen would appear . I took that to mean the LOS cross section screen showing the LOS between the shooter and target popping up . I can't seem to get this to happen so can someone confirm if it is possible ...and if so how ?
3 . With regards Handling LOS / extreme (unrealistic) ranged weapon fire what is the consensus method on how to handle this within the existing scenarios ? Just adjust the Max LOS in the weather phase setup box , or manipulate top level unit info box details and apply to entire force or both ...or something else ?
4. I like the whole Maneuver Group/Recon Group order functionality but don't seem to quite understand how I am intended to handle integral IF units within a maneuver group . I guess I am coming to this concept with preconceptions based on how "Command Ops" and earlier games from Panther Games handle this idea . I expect the AI to do intelligent stuff with my mortars and artillery and not have them charging into combat with the infantry . I am guessing I have to manually drop them out and give them explicit orders myself to get them to act sensibly ?
Great discussions on here by the way .
Thanks
