Re: Smoke!
If you look in mobhack you will see every armoured vehicle has a "smoke discharger" field, this is the number of times in a battle a tank can "pop smoke" to obscure itself. Generally this means 1 or 2 for German and 0 for Russian AFVs.
The smokescreen laying abilities of the T34 for instance (oil on the hot engine) are NOT modelled in the game but was used a lot in the war.
Infantry smoke whilst disengaging is an abstraction, was used (certainly by German, US and UK troops), and is agian, IIRC limited in number of uses. I seem to recall one of the abilities of the command A0 unit is it can use more smoke.
