Default Re: Supermen Infantry?

funnily enough my experience has been slightly different...
i have no problem with 1 squad wiping out another in an ambush at >150m in open ground, it is completly plausible. what i consistenly have difficulty with is the protective factor of woods, buildings and entrenchments to both arty fire (various sorts, but especially light mortors) and especially rifle fire. i have often experienced (roughly equal traing/leadership rating/equipment) two advancing squads over open ground force an entrenched squad in woods into suppression and retreat. the expected ratio IIRC for such ops is 1:5 or even 1:6. Casulties for the advancing squad at e.g. 200m are often much too low, e.g. the "supermen" seem to be only work one way...
