awesome. Thank you.

As a contrast to, your real life recounting, I'm currently playing a typical late 80s NATO scenario, only in this case as the Russians vs. AI. (most tend to be Russians are AI). Having a hell of a time. Case in point my current turn. A M3 Bradley has revealed itself by knocking out an AFV with a TOW. I threw some wild shots at it on the move and of course, as described....it popped smoke and created a 3 frontal hex wall of smoke.

It didn't retreat, it just then sat there behind the smoke "shields" and proceeded on the next couple of turns to lob TOW after TOW at my forces as I tried to maneuver around it. (sitting still was not an option). It was completely invulnerable as none of my forces had a TTS between them.....including the attack helicopters, so I couldn't fire at it.

This situation was just one example of many over many scenarios played over the years from SP2 to today. There was a reinforced M1 platoon on the hill.....they all ended up popping their smoke dischargers and sat behind their "shields." Many SP2/MBT scenarios play out this way, esp when NATO is on defense or delay.
