Another odd LC occurence
I always play LC's but this oddity probably will occur in any battle - not %100 sure on this one. Will experiment some more.
In all (it seems) of my LC battles (both in MBT and WW2), after you manhandle the first wave the AI commits an off-board reserve - usually 3 to 5 tanks and 3 to 5 APC's - in WW2 the APC's are Infantry squads.
Was playing and trying to destroy a pesky 81mm mortar section that had set up on the northern map edge. Upset at the losses it was causing my Marines I used a 155mm CM mission to try and destroy it. Of course being on the map edge some of the CM's went to the very edge - and presumably just off the map edge.
Anyway during the fire mission I got the in-games messages of the mass destruction of the (presumed) AI's reserve force.
Sent a UAV to the area and did not see the destroyed units on map though aircraft use near the map edge is tricky.
So I have to think that:
1) I got real lucky or (my feeling)
2) The game keeps the reserve force just "off-map" till it commits them and the CM's that go "off-map" will always hit them?
Again I will experiment some more to confirm this unless someone else has seen this or has hard info.
