Re: Withdraw
Hi Evan,
From a realism/consistancy point of view, I think if Pinned units can Take Cover or Retreat then why not Withdraw?
AFAIK Retreating units are more vulnerable to being spotted and to damage.
Withdraw would be a more tactical retreat where they'd be more hidden (like when units Take Cover) as they step back a hex, and still be able to fire back (opportunity fire) if shot at.
As for Smoke dischargers, the Germans certainly have them and use them. I think the Lynx (PzII) some of the Pz III's and IV's have at least one smoke discharger shot, the Panther has 1 or 2. You can check specific units in the Encyclopedia or unit info for smoke ammo.
Chuck brings up a good point that infantry could pop smoke. This is not what I had in mind, but it would be nice to have the option to turn that on or off for infantry. Not sure I'd like infantry to pop smoke just because they were shot at though.
cheers
