The technical issues do bother me however and I am finding it difficult to use a common 'fix' (such as using preferences - infantry toughness).
The 'fixes' I attempted with your scenario were purly an attempt to generate losses, and general behavior, more in-line to what you (or I) would expect when one of the world's most elitle formations goes against a 3rd world / terrorist type outfit. when i massively changes the experience levels i was very surprised to find that it made hardly - if any - difference at all to the orignal scenario. i certainly will keep trying , but i find that result nonetheless instructive.
You raise some valuable points, however IMO there should be very few cases where for instance the terrorists 'out shoot' (out react) the israelis, and especially the ugandans. movement in non-adjacent building hexes/
