Default Re: staying in contact

Why would sections worry about A0? - he is the batallion commander after all.

There's the company HQ in between, of course.

In any case being out of contact is merely an annoyance should you want to call for arty fires, or if the section needs additional rallying if it's suppressed is all.

However, individual elements should try to remain within 2-3 hexes of their respective platoon HQs as a matter of policy, especially if they have no radio. Even if radio-equipped they should really do so too. HQs can occasionally 'coach' units if they have better command ratings, thus getting better to-hit chances. But that only works to 3 hexes range.
