Sacrifice-Isn’t war hell…

[gila]

Your men are defending a hill and now find themselves facing inevitable capture or death..What to do?
Hopefully they will rout to save their own hides, and if they can pop some smoke,so maybe some kind of transport can carry them to the rear.
Rescuing units in trouble can be one the most exciting part of the game,
If there is a reasonable chance that is.
Saving an experienced tank crew is always a priority if i see even the slimiest chance in doing so..

I'd let the artillary fly. I hit my own troops enought without meaning to that maybe if I aimed for them it would hit the enemy!

Seriously, I agree with gila, Imp and PanzerBob. Situation dictates. Rescuse are cool (when they work). I get attached to my men too.

Good answers.

The use of own arty is the last resort, even then there are hesitating.
