Default Re: LOS and spotting

Desert scrub, yes.

The thing that most war gamers fail to realize and the one important piece missing from the Steel Panthers games is dynamic time. What this means is that in the game world you move one unit at a time, and when [censored] hit's the fan, you can adjust a hell of lot easier then in reality, likewise in reality, it's for keeps so your not going to be flying down a roadway full throttle (unless the [censored] General in charges gives your platoon of M1A1's direct orders to do so) trying to draw fire, but more seriously the whole freaking company moves at a certain time and fires as a unit together.

There is no rally phase, prep-fire phase, you move I move, it's all at once and when a tank gets smoked in reality the crew is probably dead and you knew them...and if Steel Panthers started doing that [censored], I probably would quite the game (too close for comfort), but it's a game and you to realize I have been war gaming since I was 11 in 78 and have always loved the military, until I joined and had to clean the ****ters and other things...been there done that, now I can kill Germans and Russians in a war I was not part of and it's recreational. I do have SPMBT, but it holds very little interest for me.

Anyway I'll shut up now, I have talked to much...later
